International Association of Infant Massage

Why learn the IAIM massage routine?

The IAIM is the original and longest-standing infant massage association in the world. Our instructors are certified in the internationally recognised curriculum currently taught in over 70 counties across the globe.
Each certified instructor must have a refresher course every 3 years with any updates with new research useful for our parents.
Ongoing support is available from a large international community.
More and more baby massage instructors and replica-training providers are emerging in the UK, but none can offer the trusted heritage, international expertise, and ongoing professional standards of the IAIM.
The IAIM programme emphasises sensitive and enjoyable interaction between you and your baby, so that you can gain a deeper understanding of your baby’s behaviour, unique language, and cues.
The International Association of Infant Massage celebrates over 20 years in the UK.

The International Association of Infant Massage recommends that babies be massaged with a high-quality organic, unscented, cold-pressed oil.

Advantages of Oils

Contains beneficial ingredients, e.g., vitamins and minerals.
They have no added scents as they may mask the parent's/baby's natural body odour (an important bonding element).
Are edible and therefore recognised as digestible food by the body, no worries if the baby sucks their hands and feet!
Humans naturally shed skin so the oil I provide you will automatically nourish the skin and your hands at the same time.

The IAIM strongly recommends avoiding the use of essential oils in baby massage oil.
