Caring4Baby was formed in 2004 by Susan Braithwaite to help improve the well-being of parents and their babies. It focuses on postnatal needs of mothers and their infants - aiming to provide support, encouragement, advice, information through a variety of activities from baby massage courses to mothers discussion groups.

Susan Braithwaite was trained by Peter Walker. She teaches baby massage to new mothers throughout West London. She has written several articles on the importance of touch as a prime means of communication for parents and their newborn. She is married with two children and lives in Surrey.
