For babies
Babies have a real affinity with water. They spend nine months in the womb and many mothers are now choosing a water birth as the most natural introduction to this world. Babies can be taken into the water as soon as the mother feels able - very young babies love the freedom the water offers. However, without early regular aquatic activity, babies can become very frightened in the water.
The benefits to you and your baby are immense: you strengthen the bond between you, whilst your baby develops water confidence and an understanding of water safety. Many child development professionals claim that babies who receive this early introduction to water are more alert with better eating and sleeping patterns. They may also develop their brains and cardiovascular and muscular systems more quickly through the free movement that only an aquatic environment allows.
