Welcome to your first lesson. Today and over the next few lessons we will be learning a simple massage routine to share with your baby, which is a lovely way to spend time together as well as bringing many benefits for both baby and you along the way.

Today we will be explaining what some of those benefits are as well as some do's and don'ts for baby massage to help you get started. You will also start the massage routine by learning some massage strokes for your baby's legs and feet.

You will find videos and downloadable information sheets to help you follow along with everything, and have also included some music you may like to use to set the mood during massage time.

There is also a fun song to use if you want to extend your massage practice by adding some movement, or to enjoy at other times.

Try to practice the activities from this lesson a few times if you can before moving on to the next lesson.
