Crying Baby? Infant Massage May be the Answer

Is your crying or colicky baby giving you the baby blues? Do you wish you could find an easy way to relieve baby’s stress and yours at the same time? Well, College of the Canyons Community Extension is offering a class that may be the answer to your wishes.

Infant massage has proven to very effective in helping to quell infant discomfort when parents are trained in the appropriate techniques. The class meets from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on either Thursday, March 14, or Thursday, April 25. Classes are taught by Jill Trimble, an instructor certified in infant massage by the International Association of Infant Massage.

The class is designed for busy mothers who want to learn quick and natural ways to nurture and relieve stress in their babies. The benefits of infant massage classes are many, including learning how to massage to release tension for a more restful sleep, learning to listen to infants crying and read signals about their needs, and learning how to massage to relieve colic.

The enrollment fee for the class is $35.

The class is one of the many “fee-based, self-supporting” classes offered by College of the Canyons Community Extension and is not associated with the taxpayer-supported credit classes offered by the college.
