Tummy Trouble Workshop
Some babies need an additional level of support, understanding and comforting to balance and calm them. Through extensive research, study and first hand experience, our specialised tummy trouble workshop is designed for parents whose babies are suffering from colic, reflux, constipation, feeding problems, wind and excessive crying.
The foundation of the workshop is to support parents through this demanding time; by offering them information and practical tools to manage (and in many cases cure) the problem and a supportive network to express feelings and discuss the options available. It is important to note that we do not spend much time talking about the diagnosis or identifying the symptoms of the tummy trouble. Our aim is to help parents focus on the positive things they can do with their baby to rebalance them and bring back the happiness.
The workshop includes:
- Baby massage routine: to soothe the stomach, eliminate wind, calm and restore balance to an unsettled baby
- Baby yoga techniques: including yoga moves to calm the baby and release the causes of stomach pain, relaxed holds and walks to encourage both parent and baby to relax
- Information on carrying: using slings to bring comfort and calming to a distressed baby
- Deep water bathing
- Dietary advice for breastfeeding mothers
- Relaxation techniques: for parents to cope in times of stress
- Discussion time: the discussion group offers a supportive environment to ask questions and express concerns
- Handouts
- Sling hire service
The workshop runs on Monday from 10am onwards. The usual finish time is around 12pm, however we do not limit the session and understand that often extra time is needed.
We understand the pressure that tummy trouble can have on new parents. Help is at hand, call now!
The cost of the group workshop is £30 for four sessions, and sessions can be attended consecutively or randomly within a three month period. Private sessions are available at a cost of £30 each, and private home visits cost £50 each.
