In detail

At the Royal Surrey Hospital, we recognise the benefits of baby massage for both parents and babies. Our Baby Massage Courses run over four consecutive weeks (commencing on the date selected) and are taught by our practicing expert education Midwives. 

Baby massage can be attended any time from birth but most babies enjoy it most from 6 weeks.

Over the four weeks you will learn the strokes to complete a full body massage routine to be able to enjoy a wonderful relaxing and bonding activity with your baby at home. You will also learn massage strokes and sequences to aid with issues such as colic, wind, and teething.  To find out more about the benefits of Baby Massage please visit our course developer Hands on Babies .

Our Baby Massage classes are taught at local venues to make it easier to attend in the busy postnatal period and to help you to meet and network with other local parents. Please choose the venue/course that is most convenient for you.
