Dear Mum with the colicky baby

I hear you, you’re thinking that when people said babies sleep a lot, that it’s a lie! You have a baby that just wont settle, needs to be constantly held close to you, and the relentless unsettled cries during the evening are brutal. Colic in babies can be difficult to witness as a parent & can also leave you feeling helpless & physically drained. It’s totally ok to admit how hard it is.

Babies that suffer with colic are often seen clenching their fists, red in the face, bring their knees to their tummy or arch their backs & very difficult to settle & soothe. For hours & days on end without improvement.

Baby massage & reflexology provides parents with powerful tools to equip them to manage colic & reflux in an empowering way. Baby massage helps to soothe wind & trap gas to provide relief from colic & reflux to provide comfort. We work with the digestive system and provide baby massage movements to the stomach, back & feet to aid the discomfort of colic & reflux.

Our baby massage & reflexology course we offer in Lydden, Dover & Chilham, Canterbury ‘Baby Nurture’ is suitable from newborn- pre-crawlers. This gentle baby class allows parents to understand how to support their babies needs right from birth. Parents will learn a colic & reflux baby massage & reflexology routine in class to support this common ailment. The baby massage learnt in class can then be used within the home to continue to support your colicky baby and through parent touch.
