Bath Babies

So, what is at the heart of Bath Babies?

Stillness, presence, nurture, water, touch and so much more.

Water, Nurturing Touch and Mindful Moments are at the heart of Bath Babies.

It truly is the perfect first class for your baby - a chance to pause and create special bonds between you both, providing you with magical maternity memories. A baby class which offers so much to your baby's development and well-being. Water allows your baby to be immersed in a soothing sensory environment, at the right temperature, with sensory play gently layered.

Each class is kept small to ensure we create an intimate sensory experience for parents and babies. Lasts for 90minutes and just like baby massage, it runs as a 5 week term. Babies will enjoy some time in their bath, massage, reflexology and sensory play. You can expect some of the different themes below to run throughout the course:

Gentle Sleep
Tummy Time
Teething
Colic & Reflux
Starting Solids
Play themes

Time for friendships to blossom and build a community. WhatsApp group keeps everyone in touch and mums come back for several terms together.

The most beautiful time to pause, breathe and bond with your precious one.

What to expect

The perfect introduction to early water experiences for a baby.

Bath Babies is a unique class where the focus is on nurturing touch, connection and wellbeing. This is neither a baby spa nor a hygiene bath. It is the perfect introduction to early water experiences for baby, a supportive experience for parents providing a deeper sensory water connection for babies.

Perfect for babies from 6 weeks, these classes combine all the beauty and benefits of baby massage and baby swim holds and moves. If joining us pre-6 weeks, please check with your health professional.

During the class, each baby will have their own bath, and we will guide parents on how to relax and check-in with themselves and baby. When parents are calm and relaxed it creates a sense of peace for baby.

We will learn to read baby’s cues and guide you through our lovely Nurturing Touch holds and moves. During the five-week course, you and your baby will enjoy a new theme and sensory experience each week.

This will be followed by time for the babies to snuggle, get dried off and warmed ready for their massage. We will then move through a beautiful relaxing guided positive touch baby massage to help encourage parent baby bonding.

Time is then available at the end of the course capturing a unique Bath Babies photo. You will receive a photo and certificate to take away with you to remember your experience.

Bath Babies creates a joyful experience, designed around babies first and special sense, touch. In our new world, where our sense of touch has been so shaped by new safe distances and fewer social contacts, these sessions will provide the perfect antidote. This class is also not just for parents – we welcome caregivers and grandparents too.

This class is a new modality for the water, carefully researched and backed by neuroscience, and written by Aqua Sensory and experts in their fields in the areas of emotional wellbeing, infant massage, attachment, mindfulness and nurture coaching. It is fully approved and insured by the International Institute of Complementary Therapists.
