โค๏ธ In Week 1 of our Bond With Baby ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ classes, we introduce you to some key Signalong signs to use while talking and interacting with your baby.

๐Ÿ’ญ But why use Signalong with your baby?

๐ŸŒŸ Slow down & connect
Using signs alongside speech naturally encourages you to slow down, emphasise key words and give your baby more time to process what youโ€™re saying.

๐ŸŒŸ More face-to-face communication
Signing encourages lots of lovely eye contact and helps make those little everyday interactions even more engaging โ€” supporting communication and connection between you and your baby. โค๏ธ

๐ŸŒŸ Bring language to life
When we sign and say a word together, we use facial expressions, gestures and changes in our tone of voice to help make its meaning clearer and more interesting for baby.

๐ŸŒŸ And thatโ€™s just the beginning!
There are lots of lovely ways we can support your babyโ€™s early communication, development and your bond together.

Come along to one of our Bond With Baby classes with your 3โ€“9 month old and learn more. ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ

Supporting one another ๐Ÿซถ

Yesterday I went to see the new Moana film with my own mum and my own two daughters and I felt so inspired ๐Ÿ™Œ I felt inspired by how amazing a Disney movie it is (Moana is most definitely my favourite Disney โ€œprincessโ€) and also how wise and wonderful her Grandma Tala is ๐Ÿซถ

It made me think of FATOWL & all of the beautiful baby classes we have ran over the years the impact have had to so many new mums (and dads!) grannies and grandads too!

After taking a wee breather to give my own family the support it needed, Caro and I are back in just one weeks time ๐Ÿ™Œ to run our baby massage, bond with baby and FATOWL BEATS classes ๐ŸŽต ๐Ÿฅ

As well as providing fantastic classes which can help support your babyโ€™s development in so many ways, we also support you. ๐Ÿซถ We help you build your community of new parents through warm and nurturing classes which always end with cups of tea, biscuits and plenty of time to chat. We create whatโ€™s app groups for all classes so you have a lifeline at those times in the middle of the night when the world can seem so lonely. We understand what being a new mama really is all about and we are here for you โค๏ธ

โ€œHereโ€™s to strong ๐Ÿ’ช women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.โ€ And may we support them.

If you have a baby aged from birth - 1 year please ๐Ÿ™ come and join your new class. A very warm and supportive welcome awaits ๐Ÿค— We are running classes in many lovely venues across Edinburgh and you can join us and see our full range of classes here: www.fatowl.uk

Drum ๐Ÿฅ roll pleaseโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ“• ๐ŸŒŸ You are all invited to a FREE Book Launch: Coping with Early Parenting at Lifecare Centre Edinburgh on Friday 12 June

This amazing ๐Ÿคฉ lady Dr Hannah Guzinska - Parenting and Psychology is local mum and also a Clinical Psychologist and she has written a book for parents in the early years! โค๏ธ

Itโ€™s called Coping with Early Parenting: The Magic and Mess of the First Few Years.

Itโ€™s a blend of Hannahโ€™s own experience in the first years of being a parent, and the things she found helpful from being a clinical psychologist (which she says gave her lots of ideas but didnโ€™t actually change the fact that parenting is hard!)

She has basically written the book she wished she had had!

We are delighted to be co-hosting Hannahโ€™s book launch with her so please save the date:

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ 10:30am on Friday 12th June at the Lifecare Centre in Stockbridge.

Youโ€™re welcome to bring your wee one. Hannah will be talking about the book but it will be really informal and babies and toddlers are welcome to come and just be babies and toddlers! We will have toys ๐Ÿงธ and activities for your little ones and snacks ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿช for all too ๐Ÿ˜

Book your FREE spot here:

โค๏ธLook ๐Ÿ‘€ at this amazing head control! ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ Week 5 of our baby massage course teaches you how to massage your babyโ€™s back and itโ€™s my favourite week I think!

๐Ÿ˜ Firstly, I love seeing parentโ€™s learning lots of different ways to โ€œdoโ€ tummy time with their babies!

๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ Tummy time doesnโ€™t always involve plonking your baby on the floor, arms flailing with them feeling all at sea! ๐ŸŒŠ Some babies love lying on the floor seeing the world ๐ŸŒ while others like being close to their parents, across their laps or even lying on their chests! This all counts as โ€œtummy timeโ€ and we show you how to do this while also massaging your babyโ€™s backs, giving them lots of gentle loving touch, relaxation, oxytocin boosts! ๐Ÿ˜ and of course a chance to strengthen their wee bodies.

โค๏ธ Secondly, I absolutely love seeing all of your babyโ€™s faces!!! By week 5 of the course your babyโ€™s have really started to enjoy massage and itโ€™s a joy ๐Ÿคฉ to watch them relaxing and smiling ๐Ÿ˜Š

I love all of our massage weeks but week 5 is always special ๐ŸŒŸ

Our next 5 week blocks of classes start week beginning Monday 1 June in the following venues and weโ€™d love you to join us ๐Ÿ˜Š

Mondays
Wednesdays
Thursdays & the Rosebery Halls in South Queensferry

๐Ÿ”— Book your spot on the mat here: www.fatowl.uk

๐ŸŒž This will be our last blocks before our Summer break but weโ€™ll be back in August and you can book those blocks now following the link above ๐Ÿ‘† too!

๐Ÿ˜ One of the benefits of learning how to massage your baby ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ is that it gives you the opportunity to bond with your baby through the power of touch โค๏ธ

Massage produces the love ๐Ÿฅฐ hormone oxytocin and did you know that one of the beautiful parts about that is that is itโ€™s not only the person receiving the massage who produces it but the person giving it too? This equates to lovely, powerful 1-1 time with your baby where you are both feeling the love, connection and experiencing quality time together with lots of eye contact and smiles ๐Ÿ˜Š

Many of our interactions with our babies can be functional and massage offers a chance for quality, bonding time ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿ’ Itโ€™s a real gift that many years later I can be experiencing this beautiful connection time with my own babies with them helping me teach you massage strokes too!

โœจ Some of you know that I initially learned massage to help my own daughter Hannah to sleep deeper and for longer, help her to relax, have better tummy movements and for us to experience precious bonding time together.

When Hannah was a baby ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ she had many invasive medical procedures and massage was our time to connect and heal in a loving ๐Ÿฅฐ way that would help her physically too.

๐ŸŽถ Itโ€™s very special that here she is, years later, helping me teach it to you!

๐Ÿ”— Come join us in one of our upcoming baby massage classes starting in June to learn this beautiful skill too! Book your spot on the mat at www.fatowl.uk โค๏ธ

14/05/2026

๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ We would love to welcome you and your baby to our next blocks of baby massage which start week commencing Monday 1 June โ˜€๏ธ

๐ŸŒŠ Here is a spotlight on our baby massage class on a Thursday in South Queensferry but we also run classes on a Monday at Lifecare Centre Stockbridge on a Wednesday and on a Thursday ๐Ÿ˜

๐ŸŒŸ Book your spot on the mat at www.fatowl.uk ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ

13/05/2026

๐Ÿ˜ Tonight, our most experienced teacher Hannah helped me make a video demonstrating to you the chest and arms baby massage strokes we teach you in class ๐Ÿ™Œ

โค๏ธ Hannah is the whole reason FATOWL started! Iโ€™ll tell you more of the story tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜Š

In the meantime, practice these simple but lovely strokes to bond with your baby ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ
