International Day of Infant Massage.

Today, the IAIM UK Chapter proudly celebrates the birthday of Vimala McClure, founder of the International Association of Infant Massage.

Vimala recognised the importance of nurturing touch, respectful communication and emotional connection long before these conversations became widely recognised.

Her work helped shape a global movement supporting families through:

• infant massage education
• bonding and attachment
• baby communication
• respectful caregiving
• emotional wellbeing

Her message continues to guide IAIM today:

“Touch is a baby’s first language.”

Thank you, Vimala, for your lifelong contribution to families around the world.

It’s Day 3 of ! 💛

We hope the week so far has offered moments of inspiration, reflection, and curiosity as we continue exploring the theme of .

Today’s theme invites us to think about how we can use — and trust — our observation skills looking at babies’ behaviour alongside other sources of information, including monitors, technology, and clinical tools.

We’ll be exploring this both within neonatal intensive care settings and more broadly in the context of parenting in an increasingly technology-filled world.

How do we ensure that, alongside all the information available to us, we continue to truly see the individual, unique baby in front of us?

Look out for today:

🎥 Our third “In Conversation” discussion featuring special guest Neonatal Consultant Dr Natalie Duffy, exploring observation, technology, and keeping the baby at the centre of care.

✨ Reflective prompts and practical takeaways to support thinking about how we can better see the baby within today’s theme.

We’d love to hear your reflections and experiences throughout the week — share what you’re doing by tagging and using .
