What is my baby sleeps through the entire session?If your baby is happy for you to continue the massage while they are sleeping you can try that. Alternatively, I bring along to every class two or three spare dolls so that if your little one is sleeping and you would like to continue you can practice the routines on the dolls. Also, if you prefer to enjoy some hands off time and relax you can still soak up the education and try again back at home.

What if my baby cries in class?At my Nurturing Mummy and Baby classes it is a baby led environment so all noises are welcomed and perfectly natural. Please don’t worry. We also have some techniques that we use in class to help baby relax and feel at ease. Also, I always suggest to mums to bring along any soothers or blankets of toys that has your littles ones familiar smell on. This can be a great comfort to your little one in an unfamiliar space.
