Today took an unexpected turn at around 4am 🤢 My poor boy wasn’t very well and suddenly everything planned for the next 48 hours was cancelled! • Thanks so much for everyone’s understanding when I cancelled classes and altered start dates. I promise I don’t do this lightly but it’s important to keep our bugs to ourselves. • My boy is totally better now, but still at risk of passing on his virus so we shall continue to observe the 48 hours in quarantine. There are children in his school who are immuno-compromised and some who have family members for which a vomiting bug can be extremely dangerous. I don’t want to risk passing any illness on to the mums and babies in my classes either. Staying home is inconvenient for us - but that’s all it is. • And now I’m keeping everything crossed that the rest of the family don’t come down with it 🤞🏻 Aside from anything else, I’m quite looking forward to my next lesson on the Ninjago ninjas! • #sickday #keepyourgermstoyourself #poorlyboy #quarantine #48hoursathome #nhs #pleasedontletmebenext #mummydiaries #midlothianmums #mumlife #workingmum #soloparenting #smallbusiness #mumssupportingmums #scottishmum #mumofthree #mummyofthree #tiredmum #exhaustedmama #isitbedtimeyet #ninjago #midlothian

Today was quite a special final class, saying goodbye to lovely mums and to Lisa 🥰 Lisa is my first returning mum! • Lisa attended baby massage last year with her older daughter, Eilidh. She enjoyed the classes so much that she returned this May with her younger daughter, Evie. The ultimate compliment for me 😀 • A few mums have signed up to consecutive five week courses and a few more have attended follow on, but only Lisa has returned with a new baby! I’m looking forward to welcoming more returning mums as my business approaches its second birthday 🙂 • #babymassage #infantmassage #iaim #iaimcimi #infantmassageinstructor #infantmassageclasses #midlothianmums #edinburghmums #mummyoftwo #mummyofgirls #mummyandbaby #mummyandbabytime #babyclass #nurturingtouch #attachmentparenting #midlothian

Such lovely comments from Tash upon completion of baby massage with me today 🥰 Thank you, Tash! I’m so pleased you both enjoyed the course 💕 • #Repost @textbooksandtoys with @make_repost ・・・ Today was the last day of baby massage for me and Aurora. With @clairehoustonbabymassage at @glencorse.centre She is always out for the count after massage she is so relaxed and will always sleep better that night also. Baby massage has so many benefits for baby and you, it really helps create a stronger bond, and helps with baby muscle growth. Also tummy massage is a god send for upset tummies, we use tummy massage almost everyday to help her with pooping and reflux. It has helped me greatly, my mental health has not been great, a lot of this is due to outside circumstances but obviously just having a baby makes your mental health go all over the place naturally also. I have found that massage after a bath really helps calm us both down and makes me feel closer to her. Also even going to the class was a huge step for me and facing my own social anxiety and meeting some amazing mums, who we will all hopefully stay in touch. It’s a small class and a judgement free zone. I highly recommend baby massage, and Claire if you are in Midlothian. Also today she is giving out a discount if you book today for the next batch of classes. ❤️ #textbooksandtoys #babymassage #punkymomblogsquad #familyblog #massage #relax #postnataldepression #9weeks #happybaby

Meet Isla-Beatrice-Lily (and no, you can’t abbreviate it!). She’s a Cry Baby dolly and my youngest daughter’s favourite side-kick. When she’s left by herself, she cries and doesn’t stop until she’s picked up (the dolly, not my daughter). She’s annoying (also the dolly!) but I quite like it - my daughter is learning to respond quickly and sensitively to a crying baby. • I’m currently writing an @theopenuniversity essay with a hefty section about attachment theory. I won’t go in to all the details but essentially research shows that babies need love and affection; babies form attachments based on having their emotional needs met rather than their physical needs. Failing to respond to a babies emotional needs can have far-teaching negative ramifications. • In short....you can’t cuddle, hold, love your baby too much. • #attachmentparenting #attachmenttheory #responsiveparenting #parenting #nurturingtouch #positivetouch #bondwithbaby #motherbabybond #mumandbaby #psychologyfacts #psychologydegree #psychologystudent #oustudent #maturestudent #mummydiaries #scottishmum #mummyofthree #midlothian

I recently received some lovely feedback from the class teachers of the classes I worked with during their schools’ Health Weeks. I used to be a teacher so i’m pretty confident that I pitch the level of my story massage sessions correctly - great to have the reassurance from the class teacher! • Family story massage sessions will be taking place during the summer holidays across Midlothian #linkinbio #moreinfosoon • #storymassage #storytime #peermassage #massageinschoolsprogramme #massageinschools #teacher #midlothianmums #midlothianladies #midlothianteachers #edinburghmums #familyactivities #summerholidays #edinburgh #midlothian #roslin #bonnyrigg #primaryschool #healthweek #schoolvisit #scottishmum

Spa time! I’m heading home from a lovely weekend away with some of my besties. Can’t beat a bit of downtime and a good gossip! Batteries were well and truly recharged...although I’m now feeling slightly jaded after 37 million cocktails and dancing waaaaay past my bedtime! • #girlsweekend #girlsnightout #spaday #metime #goodfriendsandgoodtimes #bffgoals #scottishmum #mummyofthree #mumofboth #mummydiaries #offdutymum #outofoffice #blytheswood #glasgow
