CHRISTMAS MINI Baby Massage | THURS | Graft, Kings Heath | Dec

Christmas Baby Massage | Thurs | 11 to 12 | GRAFT, Kings Heath The weeks before Christmas with a small baby can feel full and a bit unsettled. This gives you somewhere calm to be on Thursday mornings in December, and a routine you'll use every evening long after the decorations come down. The Wednesday course filled and there was a waiting list, so this is a shorter Christmas mini on Thursdays. December is a short month, so it runs over three weeks rather than five. Over three weeks you'll learn the full baby massage routine. We start with legs, feet and tummy (including the strokes that help with wind), then move on to chest, arms and hands, and finish with face and back. In the last week it all comes together into a ten-minute massage you can do at home, with a festive touch and keepsake Slow, steady touch helps a young baby's nervous system settle. Over the weeks you'll also get to know their cues: the little signs they're loving it, and the ones that mean they've had enough. It's a small group, just mum and baby, and you can feed, cuddle or pause whenever your baby needs to. If they sleep through the whole thing, that still counts. Twins are welcome at no extra cost. What you take home: a short demo video each week, a PDF guide to the full routine, massage oil, a keepsake made for your baby, and a WhatsApp group with the other mums that's still there after the course ends. Dates: Thursdays 3, 10 and 17 December, 11 to 12 Where: Graft Pilates, Kings Heath Suitable for: 6 weeks to fully rolling Price: £45, or £70 with the Christmas Baby Spa Book by: Monday 23 November. I aim to confirm each class 7 to 10 days before, depending on numbers.
