In our baby massage class in Vienna, you’ll learn how to use gentle, targeted touch to help your baby feel secure, relaxed, and comfortable. Over the course of four one-hour sessions, our experienced midwife will introduce you to a variety of baby massage techniques that you can easily and confidently use at home.
Baby massage is a loving way to strengthen the bond between baby and caregiver. Gentle, mindful touch can help your baby relax, develop greater body awareness, and experience a sense of security and well-being. At the same time, baby massage creates precious moments of closeness, connection, and undivided attention in everyday family life.
In our baby massage course, we’ll also address common challenges in a baby’s daily life, such as tummy aches, restlessness, and sleep difficulties, and show you suitable massage techniques and soothing touches. Each of the four sessions focuses on a specific topic. You’ll learn a varied combination of massage techniques for babies, tailored to their individual needs. These include elements of Indian baby massage, foot reflexology, and butterfly baby massage. After completing the course, you’ll be able to confidently use the techniques you’ve learned at home. A detailed handout will help you remember the exercises and make it easy to incorporate baby massage into your daily routine.
In addition to the hands-on baby massage, each session includes plenty of time for questions and discussion with our midwife and other parents. You can share your experiences, concerns, and practical tips for everyday life with your baby in a personal and supportive atmosphere.
To ensure that there is enough time and individual attention for every baby and caregiver, our baby massage class is intentionally kept small, with a maximum of six participants. The class is designed for one baby and one adult caregiver per session.
Your baby should be at least six weeks old when the course begins. The baby massage class is particularly suitable for babies up to around six months of age—or for as long as your baby is still happy to lie still and enjoy the massage.
