Dear readers,
Did you know that there’s a whole world of wellness centered around pregnant women and babies?
More and more spas are offering massages for expectant mothers that follow a very specific protocol. Whether you’re lying on your side with a pillow between your legs, sitting up, or lying on your stomach on a special table designed to accommodate your belly, you’ll enjoy massages designed to relieve lower back pain, swollen legs, and fatigue.
A much-needed break to rejuvenate both mom and baby. In fact, the baby senses its mother’s relaxation and will also be soothed by this shared moment of well-being.
Here are a few tried-and-true spa recommendations in Paris:
Comme dans un cocon au Spa Six Senses
For a reasonable budget at Spa Thémaé
For the ultimate experience at the Spa George V ot the Spa Mandarin Oriental
You can if you want to extend this world of well-being after birth, by massaging your child. You will discover the benefits for the health and the development on your child, their development, and your relationship with them. Beyond just relaxation, massages are known to relieve the aches stomach aches and the lack of muscle tone in the baby. There are some very good books on the subject, including “Baby Massage,” by Wendy Kavanagh.” Don’t hesitate either to take your child to see a pediatric osteopath, very good for gently relieving her symptoms, after a long few weeks of being stuck in belly and a turbulent birth.
