Bath Babies
Bath Babies is a totally unique concept based on the importance of nurturing touch, connection and wellbeing for both parent and baby.
Set in a beautifully cosy room with 6-8 parent and babies and using little warm baby baths, this is the perfect introduction to water based activity in preparation for the big pool.
What will bath babies give you?
It will introduce you to the first holds and moves that are used in the pool with babies, so that when they get to the big pool, they will already feel a sense of familiarity.
It will give you lots of ideas to make bathtime special with your baby, including access to a private Facebook group just for your class where all the activities we have done in the class are uploaded so you can try them at home too.
It will provide an amazing bonding experience, using a technique called 'Waters Touch' which is specially adapted baby massage for the water and is approved by the International Institute of Complimentary Therapists.
We go totally at babies pace. You can let them sleep and feed whenever they like; you will still get so much from attending.
It gives you access to lots of bathtime sensory items that you can try and see which ones your baby shows a preference for.
It will be an opportunity to meet other parents, and have a small, intimate group session where you can talk and share over a hot coffee.
At the end of the 5 weeks course, you will have a little graduation ceremony for your baby and get a certificate saying they are now ready for the big pool! Along with a little goody bag for you both and plenty of pictures in their graduation caps.
