MUMS-TO-BE and dads-to-be in Barrowcliff have got the chance to take part in special pamper sessions in a new scheme which has been set up at the Brierclffe Children's Centre.
Organisers estimated that 48 parents attended the first session and future events are planned to run quarterly.
Leone Pavlidou, the centre co-ordinator, said the first event had been a success and the parents were introduced to baby massage as well as getting manicures and facial treatments.
She said: "It was to provide a little bit of 'me time' and information to prospective parents.
"The baby massage aids with bonding and can help with sleep problems and colic and digestive disorders.
"We did have some dads taking part in the baby massage demonstrations."
She added that she hoped to organise future events because of the initial success and she also hoped to provide more for prospective fathers.
