Infant massage helps babies to
• have better, longer, more restful sleep
• be able to calm themselves earlier and more easily
• improve oxygen and nutrient flow to cells
• improve sensory awareness
• improve digestion, relieving discomfort from gas

Parents will benefit from learning to ‘read’ their baby’s behavior, which leads to better communication with their baby.

Session dates: September 12, 19 and 26
