Episode 37 - Why you should massage your baby and how to do it - With Helen Thompson, baby massage instructor

Today, I’m chatting with Helen Thompson, baby massage instructor. Helen is originally from Perthshire in Scotland and lives on the North West coast of Tasmania. I just love her accent. Helen has her NNEB (UK) Nursery Nursing qualification and as a qualified childcare educator, Helen has spent many years looking after babies, toddlers and children.

Helen has always been a big believer in holistic remedies and solutions and in 2010 she discovered the wonderful world of baby massage. She became an instructor and delights in helping parents enhance their confidence, whilst forging a closer bond with their baby.

Here is what we talked about with Helen:

💆‍♀️ Why massaging your baby? We talked about sleep and relaxation, how it helps with digestion, how it supports baby’s lymphatic system and in the teething process

💆‍♀️ Using baby massage as a bonding and a development tool

💆‍♀️ When to start massaging your little one? How frequently and when is it best to do it?

💆‍♀️ What types of oils can you use to massage baby?
