Heather is joined today by Helen Thompson, Tasmania-based infant massage instructor with over 3 decades of experience working with babies, toddlers, and their families.

In this episode, Helen helps break down:

• How to be “baby-led” when doing baby massage

• What signals a baby gives so you can tune into their cues

• How a gentle massage routine can help babies relax and settle into easier sleep

• The role massage plays in building connection, bonding, and communication

• How parents benefit from infant massage

And more

Helen is host of the First Time Mum’s Chat podcast (on which Heather was a guest for episode 160) and is a huge advocate and source of support for mums navigating their parenting journey.
