Why is the IAIM First Touch Program course so successful?
Secure attachment depends on parents being able to support their baby's exploration as well as being able to provide comfort and security. The IAIM (International Association Infant Massage) program is the ONLY infant massage program in the world that has been extensively researched and evaluated and is now the only nationally recognised infant massage program in Australia.
