The council want to stop the Baby Massage classes being run by Looi Tan a health visitor of over 20 years experience.
Removing this group from the community is removing what I believe is an essential service for new mothers, giving them an opportunity to learn a skill of bonding with their baby in the form of massage, interacting and forming friendships with other mothers and the ability to raise any concerns/questions with.
Looi has fought to keep the group running, it is appalling she should have to fight and justify a group that she has successfully run for 10 years.
We the undersigned believe that the council need to reconsider this decision
im still waiting on a real answer from the council but the silence is honestly telling. keep reading the stories in the comments because it reminds me why we have to win this for looi and all the new parents who need this space.

i cant believe how much this has taken off and seeing everyone come together for looi is just incredible. honestly it shows exactly how vital these classes are and the council really needs to pay attention now.

Really upset to hear this. New mums need all the support they can get. Fix this mess.

THESE CLASSES ARE ESSENTIAL!! I met my best mum friends there and we still meet up years later. Keeping moms supported is so important.

Ridiculous decision. My wife went to these classes and it really helped our baby with the colic. Typical council cutting the wrong things again.
