Benefits
-
Improves sleep
Floating in water relaxes your baby and is incredibly therapeutic as they have spent 9 months floating in amniotic fluid – it reminds them of being in the womb. As baby’s first exercise – it helps to improve sleep patterns and prevent sleep disorders.
-
Eases colic
Gentle movement through the water has a positive effect on baby and helps to relieve gas, constipation, cramps and is known to assist babies suffering from colic.
-
Helps digestion
Water is an appetite stimulator and gentle treading is known to assist with baby’s digestion. So if you have a fussy eater – you can look forward to improved eating patterns.
-
Builds water confidence
Floating isn’t just swimming. It’s freedom. And introducing children to water at a very young age helps prevent a fear of water developing later. Exercises that involve moving independently in water are wonderful for your baby’s confidence.
