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.
