The Baby Massage Group has been invaluable to hundreds of parents from all over Shetland.  It is often the first time that mums get themselves and their babies up and dressed and out the house in the mornings.  The first time they breastfeed in public.  The first time they dress and undress their babies with an audience, and the first time they change nappies with other people around.  All of these things are milestones in a mums life, and this class offers a non judgemental and supportive environment to take these leaps.

It is also a vital tool for Health Visitors to reach those mums who may not be on the radar.  Those battling with Post Natal Depression, those struggling to function, those in physical pain who haven't been to their GP.  Those who need a bit of early intervention before things escalate.
