The benefits of the Thalasso Baby Bath
Spoting the red flags
After what we’ve seen in his Thalasso Baby Bath, he finally got a full night's sleep.And neither my work nor the massages in this water had to do anything about that relief, here what did…
A family once came to me for a Thalasso Baby Bath. They said it was just a little “spa treat” for their baby boy. They told me everything was doing great at home, and how blessed they were to have “such a good baby”.
This is until what the bath revealed.
Their little one was struggling a bit more than what we had expected based on what they had described to me.
So after the session, I let them go with a few things to try at home. And the very next day, I received a text thanking me — because their boy had slept up to 3 hours in a row, (only)... for the first time.
Their one-month son was waking up every hour. And they've been told " babies don't sleep" and "babies are hard", so they believed it, because no room was made for them to question it or complain about it.
In a world obsessed with “teaching” babies to sleep — perfecting bedtime routines, avoiding “bad” sleep associations, tracking wake windows, and putting your baby “drowsy but awake” — this baby underlying physical root causes for sleep problem was been overlooked, and unfortunately unnadressed.
The effect of our expectations on them
I wanted to talk about his story because it is why a session like a Thalasso bath is so important. We need to relieve our babies of the expectations and projections we (parents and us, the rest of the world) put on them.
In some families, it is gonna be being overly protective, burning ourselves out to fix whatever-have-to-be-fixed and holding a heavy guilt. Because we believe they carry a painful trauma, while … they feel ok, and they live fully with joy and curiosity. And we miss that joy because of our fear. We miss… them
In the other house, it will be the opposite. We will focus so much on not being dramatic, our fear of not becoming a burden for … who?
“Babies are hard”, “babies cry, it's normal”, “babies x and babies Y”.
So we will just “s*ck it up and be brave”, and again, we miss them.
We tend to give so much room to babies, but not for your baby.
To be who they are, to feel what they feel.
So a big part of Thalasso baby bath is also about hearing mummy and daddy's fears, giving them room, so some space is made for what you have to say, what you have to share… what you truly need us to hear, loud and clear.
