I’ve been taking my 5 week old son to Suzy’s massage classes for 2 weeks and I’ve found it a great way to bond further with him and gain the confidence of handling and soothing a newborn. I’ve managed to pass on some of the techniques to my husband so he can also bond more and pacify him as part of bedtime routine. The classes are very friendly and laid back with a maximum of 8 babies. The added bonus has been that I’ve met more local new mums too.
