This class teaches caregivers how to massage their infants. Any caregivers are welcome: moms, dads, adoptive or foster parents, grandparents. Class is conducted in a baby friendly atmosphere.
Infant massage offers a special time for bonding and one-to-one interaction. Infant massage has multiple benefits: it has shown to improve sleep patterns for infants and parents, reduce stress hormones, calm babies as well as provide relief from gas and colic, constipation, muscular tension, and growing pains.
Bring a baby, a blanket to put on the floor, and a pillow. We will provide massage oil but you are welcome to use yours if preferred.
Recommended age: 2 to 8 months.
Class meets once a week for 5 weeks, Tuesdays, 11 to 12 am. It is taught by Kasia Spengler, RN, IBCLC, Certified Educator of Infant Massage
