Baby's Infant
Massage Class
Why This Class Is Special and Unique:
This isn’t just another baby massage class. Baby’s First Massage® is the first and only medically-developed, research-based program created specifically for newborns (days 1–28). Designed by nurses and infant specialists, it’s been trusted in hospitals and NICUs since 1992. Classes are only taught only by Certified and Licensed Professionals trained in this method, ensuring your baby receives safe, expert guided care. You’ll learn gentle, safe techniques you can use from your baby’s very first day of life helping you bond, soothe, and care for your newborn with confidence and love.
Benefits of Baby's First Massage ®
While respected programs like the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM), Growing Baby, & Toddler massage, Liddle Kidz Foundation offer wonderful techniques for later stages of development. They are designed for older infants and may be too stimulating for brand new babies.
Baby's First Massage ® is the only medically developed, research-based program created specifically for newborn period (days 1-28). Its gentle approach supports bonding, relaxation, and confidence from your baby's very first days - even for babies born prematurely.
