A mum's Basking Babies tale - Basking Babies

At Basking Babies, we get lots of lovely reviews and even the occasional gift from mums who have enjoyed our courses!

We caught up with Gemma, who joined Alex’ classes in Southend with baby Penelope, to get her take on the Basking Babies experience.

What class have you recently enjoyed with Basking Babies?  

Penelope and I joined the Nurture Me (Complete): Baby Massage & Baby Reflexology course with Alex from Basking Babies Southend.   

 

What motivated you to sign up for a Basking Babies course?

As a new mum to a baby with tummy problems, I wanted to see if baby massage would help to ease her discomfort. Plus, I’d heard lots of positive things about Basking Babies. 

Have you made some new friends on the course?

Yes I have – it was great to meet other mums and babies.

Name your top three highlights of the course

  • I loved seeing Penelope laugh, smile and react with the other babies.
  • Learning new skills and being able to take the knowledge home to ease my daughter’s discomforts.
  • Having the option to get mementos in the class. Alex always offered to take our photos and arranged a mini photoshoot for us with our babies. We also had a session with Painted Peppermint, who created keepsakes for us so I’ve got some lovely memories to look back on.

What would you say to another mum who is considering joining a Basking Babies course?  

Basking Babies classes are a great way to talk to other mums and socialise, so I highly recommend it. You can take things at your own pace and feel safe to enjoy time with your baby in a calm environment.  

Before this class I was nervous about breastfeeding in a class environment, however I was made to feel really comfortable. Other mums were nursing their babies and the experience gave me the confidence to feed in other classes.
