Massage helping mothers and babies to bond

IT seems the more frenetic our lives become, the more we hark back to ancient and tribal traditions.

Take baby massage classes for instance. It was once the preserve of celebrity yummy mums like Gwyneth Paltrow, but is now de rigeur in community halls across the country’s towns and cities.

Parents and their babies flocked to Liffey Valley yesterday for a free class from a fully certified massage instructor.
