Our 5 week Infant Massage programme is facilitated by our passionate BritishCrae Baby Massage Instructors & Midwives who have had the pleasure of supporting thousands of families in our fun and very special baby bonding classes. 
 
At BritishCare we are passionate about the importance of touch through baby massage and advocate secure attachment and bonding with your baby. 
 
Classes provide full demonstration of safely approved strokes from legs and feet through to a full body massage to theoretical learning, common postpartum discussion topics and a chance to connect with other mums and babies to make lifelong friendships! Our instructors and midwives love nothing more than seeing photos of parents and babies meeting up years after they attended classes with their newborns. Brining Mums together is something Louise prides herself on as well as the evidence that shows that attending baby massage classes lowers rates of postnatal depression. 
 
Our classes run every month, one session per week over a 5 week period. 
 
Tuesdays 10-11am : Gargash Hopsital Wednesdays 10-11am : Gragash Hospital
 
Maximum 12 Mothers and babies.
