Hi ladies :).
I did this with J and it helped his windy tummy (and helped a lot of settling issues) plus he LOVED it and so did I ;D.
I remember you can't do a baby massage course until baby is 6 weeks but does anyone know whether there is a safety reason for this or not? Or just people wanting Mummy and Baby past the post partum period?
Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place Rachel - I couldn't decide where it belonged ::).

We started massage very early... Tracy outlined massage on pages 161-166 of Secrets of the BW.
Will leave it here Liz, only other place I can think is Health and Medical, in case there is a reason not to start before 6 weeks. All I know is we did it earlier than 6 weeks.... :-*

I've been doing it since she was 2 weeks. I don't think it is contraindicated for tiny ones. I've never seen a warning about it in a text book either.
