Baby Massage @ Playgroup

Come along to our 4 week course of baby massage, very kindly led by our fellow twin mum, Fiona Macfarlane. This is aimed at those with babies from 6 weeks old, up to one year. Here's what Fiona has to say :

I live in Tooting and I'm married with four children, we thought long and hard about having a third child and along came two.

I have been an antenatal teacher for the NCT for six years teaching all over Nappy Valley and trained as an IAIM Baby Massage Instructor in February 2016.

I have had a few twin parents on my baby massage courses but found that it was harder for them to access the benefits of massage as classes could be more difficult with two.

A course of four classes would cost £5 which would include oils, an instruction booklet and a certificate at the end.

Parents can come on their own or if mum and dad are both around that would be great too. As the main focus of massage is bonding and attachment it's aimed at parents and not nannies or grand parents. But you could go on to teach the strokes so you could get some help.

All classes are totally baby focused and we add to the strokes each week so you have multiple opportunities to learn the new ones. This is great so if you need to feed or change you can sit and watch and you would massage which ever baby is more receptive at the time.

As a group of twin mums it will be a supportive and nurturing environment in which we can talk about the challenges we face and provide support to each other. 

£5 is payable to Fiona on the first day, and we are limited to 6 sets of twins so please get a ticket to ensure you have a place and the course will run for the first 4 Fridays in March, so the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th.
