During the five sessions, parents are gradually introduced to a complete baby massage routine, learning new strokes each week in a relaxed, supportive and baby-led environment. The programme also includes discussion topics relevant to early parenting, providing an opportunity for parents to connect, share experiences and build confidence in responding to their baby's needs.
