Daddy and Me Time
What is a Daddy and Me Time Course?
Daddy and me classes are specifically designed for dads to have some special bonding time with their little ones. All whilst mum is taking some time for herself having a hot drink and cake. The classes will take place in a separate room so dad and baby can have some 1:1 time but should a feed be needed mum is only just down the hall.
These classes will include infant massage so you can help your baby with:
-
Relief from colic
-
Relief from wind and constipation
-
Relief from cold symptoms
-
Bond with you
-
Relief from growing pains
-
Give your baby mind/body awareness
-
Assist with pre language and verbal/non-verbal communication
Each session we will learn strokes for different areas of the body so that you are able to provide a full massage routine for your baby.
As part of the class we will also do some yoga with a dads body in mind so we can look at relieving stress from the body and learn breathing techniques for when you need to relax, calm down and take a pause. Whilst attending to your own needs during the poses we will incorporate movement for baby so you can have fun together.
At the end of the class there will be time for you to chat to the other dads whilst having a hot drink and cake if you want to from The Crafty Cup.
This is a lovely chance for you to take the lead with your baby and develop your own fun routines together for massage and yoga. The skills you learn during the course will be ones you can apply as your baby grows up into a toddler and beyond.
What else do you need to know?
This is a 4 week course and is suitable for babies aged 6 weeks to pre crawling.
Mum is able to come along to the venue and will have a special area reserved at the front of The Crafty Cup for her to take some time for herself. Other children are welcome to sit with mum at no additional cost but please notify of the numbers attending ahead of the class.
Please note any hot drinks and cakes purchased will be sold separately by The Crafty Cup and are not part of the course fees and will not be provided by Breathe.
