Free Infant Massage Demo Class – March 18

Posted March 9th, 2010 in Classes, Events | No Comments

Interesting in trying out infant massage? Try it out at this FREE infant massage class at Milagros on March 18, 4pm:

Infant Massage is very beneficial for easing pain associated with colic, gas, constipation, and teething. The relaxing nature of massage also helps reduce stress, helping baby and you sleep better. Other benefits include: strengthening the immune, hormonal, circulatory, nervous, and digestive systems, as well as teaching the infant about healthy touch. Through infant massage parent and child form a stronger bond and learn to communicate better.

Lisa Carlascio, owner of Baby My Sweet Baby, will provide a demonstration of massage strokes appropriate for use with infants. This class will also cover the benefits of infant massage, some non-verbal cues of infant distress, and the types of oils that should and should not be used for infant massage. Space is limited; please RSVP to ensure a spot by contacting  Lisa at Baby My Sweet Baby at 503-645-2650 or visit on line.
