Celebrate Baby Week 2025 with Free Baby Massage Sessions from Bee Happy Babies

We’re thrilled to partner again with Improving Me – NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Women’s Health and Maternity programme to bring two FREE online baby massage sessions to families and professionals for Baby Week 2025.

At Bee Happy Babies, our mission is to make baby massage accessible for every family. Baby massage supports healthy infant development, strengthens bonding, and promotes parental wellbeing—making it one of the most powerful early-years tools available.

Why Baby Massage Is So Beneficial

Baby massage is much more than a relaxing activity; it delivers evidence-based benefits for both babies and their caregivers.

✅ Benefits for Babies

  • Improved sleep

  • Improved digestion and relief from wind/colic

  • Enhanced bonding through nurturing touch

  • Healthy sensory and motor development

  • Promotes feel-good hormones and lowers stress hormones

✅ Benefits for Parents & Caregivers

  • Stronger parent-infant attachment

  • Greater confidence in reading baby cues

  • Reduced stress and improved mood

  • Release of “happy hormones”: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins

  • A calming, mindful routine that fits easily into everyday life

This combination of developmental and emotional benefits is why baby massage is recommended by professionals across maternity, neonatal, and early-years services.
