BABY MASSAGE
This interactive training course will enable you to perform a practical treatment session on a soft bodied doll. Baby massage is an ancient tradition where parents or primary carers perform a massage or range of soothing holds and rhythmic strokes to aid their infant's development.
There are a raft of physical benefits including improved sleep duration, help in the prevention of colic and other digestive disorders and deep relaxation. It may also help premature infants to increase weight gain.
