Infant Massage Class

at

The Bellevue Hospital

The Infant Massage class assists new or expectant parents in learning massage for newborns.

Parents of children ages newborn to six months will learn the philosophy and value of the nurturing touch and how to perform this simple, relaxing massage on their babies.

The class will teach people how to touch their newborns in a nurturing, gentle way that not only satisfies that baby’s need for touch, but will also help the parent begin to communicate with the child.

Other benefits of massage include better digestion of feedings which help the baby gain weight easier and grow at a faster pace; stimulating the nervous system to help build muscle tone; improving circulation; and a calming effect leading to deeper, more restful sleep.

Classes for parents with new babies and expectant parents will be limited to four families and are held from 6-7:00 p.m.

The  Participants in the class for expectant parents will need to bring a doll for classroom practice.

Class fee is $5.

The class meets in The Bellevue Hospital's Burson Conference Room

For additional information or to register for the class, contact Centralized Scheduling at The Bellevue Hospital at (419) 483-4040, Ext. 3067.
