The Baby Massage Class I took Daniel to on Friday at Secret Garden Children centre turned out to be good. It believed that baby massage promotes relaxation and sleep of baby, encouraging bonding between Mum and baby,improving suppleness of baby's joints and helping relieve colic. Bearing all these good points in mind, I took Daniel to the class Friday morning. Though it was an effort to find that 'Secret' Children Center, which is hide away from main street, it was all worthy it.
The class commence at 9.30am, Following the map printed off from Internet I drove to the correct street but couldn't find this place. Saw a school-like establishment, I think this is it. As the car park in that school was full so i parked on the street, carried Daniel in the car seat into the school then found out it was wrong place. Disappointed, I walked out of school with Daniel in the car seat held by one of my arm (very heavy, Daniel is 6.3kg)with new direction, A young woman pull over her car towards me and wind down the car window asking the direction to community center. With a map on the passenger seat and a baby at rear, i guessed she must heading for the same place. Yes, she was. After given her the direction, I put Daniel back into the car, drove very slow to search again. In the end, we found the secret garden, we was 10 minutes late. The Young Mum asking direction earlier was worse than me. She was 20 minutes late.
When we arrived there. There were already 10 babies and Mums sitting around on the mats. Undressed Daniel and put his on the mat I started to follow instructions. The trainer has undertaken the International Infant Massage course. so she was quite good. Daniel was quite cooperative, didn't cry at all the whole session until the last minute, it was his feed was due. The whole event was quite sociable. The baby girl next to Daniel is called Grace as well and she was such a sweet baby, so quiet... definitely will go next week!

Sounds great! Massage is indeed very good for babies. But I never had chance to learn it.
Enjoy the experience and hope Daniel gets the most out of it.
Daniel has been constipated for a few days. I did try some of the strokes learned from the massage class on him and it works. He's done his poo today.
That's great!
For breastfed babies, no poo for up to 10 days is okay. Isabel's record is 6 days. But since she turned 3 months, she has been really regular - one a day, every morning. :)
