I teach baby massage to all my patients who are new mums as I find it really helps with general fretfullness, fussing, unwilling to settle in the evening, colic and digestion generally. To learn how to give a general calming massage to your baby click here.

Baby massage helps to relieve colic, improve digestion (reducing spit up and vomiting), improve the immune system and circulation, alleviate birth traumas and relax babies and encourage sleep. It also helps you and your baby bond in a unique way. Plus its fun and babies love it!!

Baby massage helps to relieve colic Jo Rochford

I incorporate a mixture of traditional baby massage and accupressure massage into my teaching, ensuring that the sessions are fun, relaxing and health boosting too.

Thanks so much for this, it has been a life saver! We did a quick version, about 20 minutes before her 7.30pm feed this evening, and it seems to have really worked. She is incredibly calm so far - I do hope I'm not tempting fate by saying that!! Compared to last night, it's been bliss!!!
