Bath of Wonders
Treat your newborn to a moment of relaxation and well-being, and
enjoy a sweet time together as a family.
Duration of the service: 1 hour to 1 and a half hour
For 9 months, babies live cradled in their mother's womb, safe and warm.
When they are born, everything changes and becomes more intense.
The Bath of Wonders serves as a beautiful reminder to newborns of the postures and
sensations they encountered while in the womb. Through this bath, babies have the
opportunity to release their emotions and alleviate any tension related to the
birthing process.
What to expect: We will take a time to talk about your baby's life: pregnancy, birth,
first days, any difficulties you might have met. Then I will swaddle your baby and put
them in a warm bath to help them release any tension and to give them the
opportunity to experience the same sensations they had in the womb.
The bath lasts about 20 minutes and we end or time together with some skin to skin with a parent.
A few benefits of this care:
-Release the tensions related to childbirth
-Soothe the emotional experience of pregnancy and birth
-Strengthen attachment and parenting skills and facilitate bonding
-Restore the baby's sense of bliss from their time in the womb while offering baby and parents a moment of relaxation
Baby must be less than 3 weeks old and weight should be at least 6 pounds and 2.7 ounces (2Kg800). If your baby came early, we can do the bath later, up to 3 weeks after your due date.
I work with 2 amazing photographs who can document this sweet moment:
