ABOUT INFANT MASSAGE
This 5-week program promotes the loving relationship and healthy bonding between parents and infants through nurturing touch.
Learn strokes to connect with your baby, help with relaxation, and stimulate development.
Sessions are spread out to give you and your baby time to learn new strokes and become comfortable with massage. Each week, parents/caregivers learn strokes for a new part of the body while reviewing strokes from previous classes, so new strokes are learned and previous information is reinforced.
