Postpartum Healing & Re-bonding Bath

The healing & re-bonding bath caters to mothers and their babies who, due to a challenging birth or medical assistance required for the baby, may have missed the opportunity for skin-to-skin bonding.

The baby healing bath serves as an effective initial aid method following a challenging birth, fostering a deeper connection or making up for lost bonding time caused by separation between mother and baby.

During this healing bath, the aim is to recreate the moment when the newborn is initially placed on the mother's chest, fostering skin-to-skin contact before being gently dried off.

Recreating or reliving this particular moment offers a profoundly soothing and restorative experience for both babies and mothers following a difficult beginning in their journey together

Let me tell you a story,

In the gentle quiet of the room, a scene was meticulously set, each detail carefully arranged to create an atmosphere of serenity and warmth, essential for the healing and re-bonding bath. Phones were silenced, and an air of ease enveloped the space, ensuring no rush or pressure for anyone involved.

The mother nestled herself comfortably in the bed, preparing for the tender moments ahead. Meanwhile, the helper with loving hands, took charge of bathing the baby, making use of a cozy corner near the bed, perhaps in a baby bath or bath bucket. If space was limited, the bathroom offered a suitable alternative.

The sequence continued with the naked and damp baby, carefully placed upon the mother's bare torso. In a synchronized motion, both were lovingly swathed in a warm bath towel and the comforting duvet, ensuring they were cocooned in warmth.

Above all, the utmost care was taken to prevent the baby from losing warmth. The close, intimate contact between the damp, bare baby and the mother was a deeply emotional and moving experience for many women. It was a moment reminiscent of those precious first moments after a vaginal birth when the newborn rests upon the mother's chest, an unspoken bond formed in those tender moments of closeness.
