FAQ: How old should my baby be before we start a baby massage course? The answer is...as it often is...it depends! Every baby is different. Every parent is different. Any baby between 0 and 11months is welcome at my class. Read more about this on my website #linkinbio • #newbaby #newmum #newdad #newparent #babymassage #infantmassage #iaim #clairehoustonbabymassage
Four years ago today I first set foot in the Breastfeeding Cafe at Auchendinny. My baby was 10 days old and a combination of factors (September holidays and nhs clinic closures, recovering from a c section and having a toddler to name but a few) meant that I was really struggling to find the help I needed. • Breastfeeding is hard. Isn’t that just the best kept secret? Having fed a child already for about 6 months, I had no idea about all the problems I was now encountering. • I received the most amazing support from the ladies at the Breastfeeding Cafe. They gave me confidence to trust my own decisions. They gave me encouragement and the hope that everything would be ok in the end. I fed my daughter for a little over 9 months. I would never had thought that was possible four years ago today. They were just there to listen - the Breastfeeding Cafe runs every single Thursday of the year without fail. • I’m so proud to still be working with the Breastfeeding Cafe even though my breastfeeding days are way behind me. • Now I feel I must mention something quite important here....I don’t care how you feed your baby. What I do care about (quite a lot!) is that mummies are supported in their decisions. I wanted to breastfeed and I needed help which I fortunately found. I feel so sad when I hear a mummy say “I wanted to breastfeed but...”. Support is crucial. • #breastfeeding #normalisebreastfeeding #dontjudgemums #supportnewmums #mumssupportingmums #breastfeedingsupport #peersupport #breastfeedingcafe #newmum #newbaby #midlothianmums #clairehoustonbabymassage
Baby massage solves everything* • * ok so not everything everything but close enough and yes, I reckon I could make a bit of progress with world peace if I could teach the right people baby massage. For now, I will just settle for the mummies, daddies and primary kids of Midlothian and S Edinburgh #onestepatatime • I hope I don’t sound flippant 🤞🏻 • Back to my point. Baby massage is amazing and can help with a myriad of baby, child and parent problems. Mummies coming to my classes most regularly comment on binding, sleeping and pooing - but there are more benefits than just these three I promise. Have a little read of my website #linkinbio It’s Infant Massage Awareness Week and Awareness I shall spread - tell your friends! • #infantmassage #babymassage #iaim #infantmassageawarenessweek #babyproblems #gasandwind #colic #babytummytroubles #babymassagemidlothian #infantmassagemidlothian #babymassageedinburgh #edinburghmums #midlothianmums #clairehoustonbabymassage
Look at this face 💕 Beautiful....but NOT SLEEPING! For the last 2.5 years, my littlest has always fallen asleep in her buggy as we’ve wandered home from dropping one of her older siblings at pre-school. I’ve known we were drawing closer to the nap-free days but I was in a bit of denial. So today is my first mummy day without a nap (her not me I mean!). • How am I going to survive? This precious hour of my Mondays and Tuesdays was dedicated work/me-time. The ratio altered slightly depending on priorities. When am I going to do my accounts? When am I going to phone new mummies before our classes start? When am I going to do my OU reading? When am I going to jiggly pages on my website? When am I going to have a hot cup of tea and watch the news (ok....Home and Away)?. Send help! • And amongst all my panicking, I’ve also realised that I officially have no babies anymore! And before anyone suggests it......NO! • #nonapsanymore #nonap #naptimesover #byebyebabystage #thelasttime #workingathomemummy #wahm #businessmum #mumpreneur #mamaboss #selfemployed #jugglinglife #jugglingmum #hardworkingmummy #mumofthree #mumoftoddler #mumlife #oustudent #timemanagement #clairehoustonbabymassage

How lucky am I? Not only do I get to teach baby massage every Thursday, but for the next few weeks I’ll be teaching two groups every Thursday! My mornings will be spent in the lovely @leafandbeanedinburgh then back to teach from my own home in the afternoons #lovemyjob • Today’s classes were made extra special by the attendance of two daddies. Yes, daddies are more than welcome to attend baby massage classes. One mummy was spending the morning being pampered so her little girl brought daddy along to massage. One daddy had a day off work with his new family of three so joined his partner and little boy in our class this afternoon. It is always so lovely to welcome daddies to the classes although I realise that for most, attending a weekday class isn’t a real option. That’s why I run dads’ workshops so the babies can bring their daddies along to special Saturday dads-only sessions. My September dads’ workshop is fully booked but I’ll be arranging a date for November soon - watch this space! • And just to round off all the loveliness of my working day, I’ve been described as “fab” in a little insta post about baby massage by one of new mummies starting today 💕 • #babymassage #infantmassage #iaim #babymassageclass #infantmassageclasses #newclass #edinburghmums #midlothianmums #edinburghdads #midlothiandads #newmum #newdad #newbaby #newborn #newfamily #instadaily #womansupportingwomen #mumssupportingmums #clairehoustonbabymassage
