What is the Thalasso Baby Bath?

This care ritual was born from the attentive observation of Sonia Krief, a passionate childcare nurse. Noticing how often the classic bath in maternity wards was rushed, she developed a gentler approach inspired by life in utero. Wrapped in a swaddling cloth, cradled in warm water at 37°C, the newborn rediscovers sensations close to those it knew in the womb. This bath is a moment of intense emotional reconnection, a true sensory journey.

The Benefits of the Therapeutic Bath

For the baby

  • Release of birth-related tension
  • Physical and emotional relaxation
  • Gentle sensory stimulation
  • Improved sleep and digestion
  • General soothing through the release of endorphins

For the parents

  • Intense emotion watching their baby relax
  • Building a deep bond of trust
  • A restorative moment after a difficult birth
  • An unforgettable memory shared as a family

Who is this treatment for?

The Thalasso Baby Bath is suitable for all newborns between the 3rd day of life and the 5th week. Ideally, the earlier the treatment is carried out, the more beneficial the experience, as the baby still retains memories of the sensations of life in the womb.

Can a therapeutic bath be done at home?

It is recommended to carry out this treatment with a trained professional to ensure the newborn's comfort and safety. That said, it is possible to draw inspiration from this approach to offer your baby a gentle swaddled bath at home, provided certain rules are carefully observed: water temperature at 37–38°C, calm atmosphere, slow movements and a reassuring presence.

Complete this ritual with a massage session. To find out more, read our article: Baby massage: benefits, techniques and tips for doing it well.

How does a session work?

The treatment lasts approximately 1h30 and consists of two parts:

  1. An exchange with the practitioner: discussion about the pregnancy, the birth, the emotions experienced, etc.
  2. The 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 newborn's reactions.
