Thalasso Baby Bath: Benefits of Therapeutic Bathing for Newborns
The Thalasso Baby Bath, also known as a therapeutic bath for newborns, is much more than just a bath. This gentle and sensory ritual, created by Sonia Krief, brings calm, comfort, and a deep bond between baby and parents. Discover the benefits, the process, and how to enjoy this unique experience.
What is Thalasso Baby Bath?
This care ritual was born from the careful observation of Sonia Krief, a passionate childcare assistant. Noting the often hasty nature of traditional bathing in maternity wards, she developed a gentler approach, inspired by life in utero. Wrapped in a swaddling blanket, cradled in warm water at 37°C, the infant rediscovers sensations close to those they experienced in the womb. This bath is a moment of intense emotional reconnection, a true sensory journey.
The Benefits of Therapeutic Bathing
For the baby
- Release of childbirth tensions
- Physical and emotional relaxation
- Gentle sensory stimulation
- Improved sleep and digestion
- General calming thanks to the release of endorphins
For parents
- Intense emotion at the relaxation of their baby
- Creating a deep bond of trust
- Restorative moment after a difficult birth
- Unforgettable memory shared with family
Who is this treatment for?
The Thalasso Baby Bath is suitable for all infants between the 3rd day of life and the 5th week of life . Ideally, the earlier the treatment is carried out, the more beneficial the experience, as the baby still retains the sensations of intrauterine life.
Can you do a therapeutic bath at home?
It is recommended that this treatment be carried out with a trained professional to ensure the infant's comfort and safety. That said, it is possible to use this approach to offer your baby a gentle, wrapped bath at home , provided that certain rules are followed: water temperature at 37–38°C, a calm atmosphere, slow movements and a reassuring presence.

How does a session take place?
The treatment lasts approximately 1.5 hours and consists of two stages:
- An exchange with the professional: discussion about pregnancy, childbirth, emotions experienced, etc.
- Bath: The baby is gently wrapped and then immersed in warm water up to the face. Soothing music may accompany the session. The bath lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the baby's reactions.
