Baby Bath Spa, The Wonderful Relaxing Bath For Newborns

There is a wonderful type of bath known as the Baby Bath Spa that is intended to relax the newborn. It seeks to offer the baby the same feeling of security and placidity that it would have in the mother’s womb: here there are no sponges or soaps, only warm water and wise hands that know how to convey affection and well-being.

Something that as mom or dad you will know is that not all babies are the same, and that yours is very special. For example, not all children enjoy or allow themselves to be bathed in tranquility and serene enjoyment, there are those who, when faced with the simple contact of water, react by screaming and crying. Others, on the other hand, are plunged into a state of deep relaxation where parents delight in seeing their child happy, entertained and comfortable.

Now, an almost prodigious alternative to get every baby to relax at bath time is to start what is known as the Baby Bath Spa. To do this, we will first need a bathroom hammock where to sit them to facilitate this technique that has some variations. We want to offer you the simplest, most comfortable and safe one where everyone can enjoy.

We are sure that it will be of great help to you.

The technique is called “Thalasso Bain Bébé” or “Baby Bath Spa”

Sonia Rochel, is a well-known French nurse who has developed and popularized a technique known as Thalasso Bain Bébé.

• For many years he has seen the wonderful work of midwives and that miracle of births where everything happens very quickly, and where it seems that there is not enough privacy for the babies that come into the world.

• Newborns, she thought, needed to experience their first bath in a more relaxing and less traumatic way than it usually is on average.

• We have all seen how they usually bathe newborns to remove the remains of blood or that greasy and sticky substance called vernix caseosa. No baby enjoys those kinds of baths.

What Sonia Rochel was looking for was to be able  to welcome the baby with softness, affection and naturalness. She defines it herself as a gift, as a moment of intimacy and relaxation to show them that this world is a calm, warm and loving place.

Let’s now see more features in this regard.

The Thalasso method

The Thalasso method is exclusive for babies under two months. It seeks to favor an environment similar to the mother’s womb so that the baby relaxes after that often complex moment that is delivery.

• It is a 10-minute bath where no sponges or soaps are used, only the water and the movements of this specialized nurse known all over the world.

• The baby is many times submerged under the water (without covering his nose) experiencing at the moment a pleasant pleasure. It is like returning to that maternal environment where you feel safe and happy.

• Something important should be noted: this type of bath where moving the baby under the water in calm and harmony is something that only a specialist can do. Babies’ movements are very sudden and you have to know how to react minimizing risks and without breaking that magic where the infantile mind plunges into a state of deep calm.

The Baby Bath Spa at home

If you want to carry out this technique in a safer way, it is necessary to help us with a Baby Bath Spa hammock. They are prepared to be able to sit the baby and thus facilitate movements and relaxation.

• There are moms who get into the bathtub with their babies and, in this way, relax the little ones in a simpler way, by covering it with warm water while they caress and calm them.

• Likewise, we can do it in their children’s bathtubs with the aforementioned hammock, only that instead of putting the tap on them like Sonia Rachel does, we can use jugs of water.

• It is interesting that we do this type of bath three times a week from the baby’s birth to two months. It is a way to promote this continuity with the mother’s uterus so that children feel calmer in their day-to-day lives.

It is also known that with this type of bath colic is reduced and that we favor a deeper night’s rest.

It should also be said that with the Baby Bath Spa, moms and dads really enjoy themselves. We connect with our baby in an exceptional way, because this technique is much more than a bath, it is a dance of caresses, sensations and magical rest.
