We recommend babies after their first vaccinations and pre movers and crawlers. This will be approx. 6 weeks old and upwards.
We would recommend not massaging after a feed and giving baby tome to digest or avoiding the tummy area.
If baby has recently had their vaccinations, it is advisable to avoid the area. We advise 48 – 72 hours after their vaccination.
We will provide an organic sunflower oil, it is perfect for those who may suffer from nut allergies as it is derived from the seeds of the flower. You may bring your own preferred oil if you wish. A patch test is recommended, with any new oil. This can be done in groups prior to start.
If baby is unwell it is best to not massage as this could make them more unwell. The best time for massage if when you are both well and ready for massage. We will learn lots about the different cues during the course.
If you need to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, get in touch and we will don our best to help rearrange your session.
