In the months following childbirth, there he has a p e e e period indicated more to follow thalassotherapy postnatal cure?

In general we do not go to postnatal care before the 3 months of the baby. Simply because it has to have had his first vaccines (made at 2 1/2 months). And most thalassotherapy centers prefer that the mother has started or even completed her perineal rehabilitation. We can then do a post-natal cure until 9-10 months of the baby. Beyond, a fitness cure is just as suitable. To be really profitable to the mother, it is thus between 3 and 6 months after the birth that it is useful to do a post-natal cure in thalassotherapy.

Cure postnatal or mom-b e b e is the same?

Almost but there is a nuance. These thalassos treatments are for women after delivery, but the program can be very different. Roughly speaking, a post-natal cure is for the woman and offers her health care. Besides, one can come without his baby on these cures. The mother-baby thalassotherapy treatment is more for women who come with their baby and who is looking for several things: fitness, but also beauty and / or mothering advice. In the mother-baby spa treatments, there is often care with and / or the baby. Nevertheless, it is better not to stop at the title, it is a clue but better to rely on the description of the cures themselves.

The spa program these postnatal cures is really sp e cific?

Yes, a post-natal cure or mom-baby is not only a cure "fitness" or "slimming". Thus, the slimming program of postnatal cures is often more flexible, less drastic than a cure silhouette. Especially if the mother is still breastfeeding. What counts and gives a tone to this dedicated thalassotherapy cure is the person who supervises the cure (midwife, doctor, physiotherapist, osteopath ...) and the availability of this referent.

Are there a balance postnatal perf o there?

Most of the time, this gynecological and muscular assessment is performed 6 weeks after delivery by a midwife or gynecologist . Sometimes the doctor at the thalassotherapy center does it. At the thalasso of Carnac, it is the physio who makes a real test of perineal tonicity to check if there is or need to re-education. Most of the time, it is advisable to have started or even finished your perineal rehabilitation.

Does the accompanying person have a program ?

Not really. Unless he takes care of the card. Nevertheless, it has, in general, access to the hydromarin space, that is to say the swimming pool, the sauna and the hammam. Some centers offering care with the baby may include dad (massage workshop or bubble bath).

The b e b e he has care too?

In the mother-baby treatments of thalassotherapy, the baby has a real place. Some centers may offer up to a whirlpool with the baby a day. There is also most often a workshop to learn how to massage the baby.

Is the mat e é able to riel riculture available?

In general yes. We have an umbrella bed, a change mattress and a bottle warmer in the room. As in all hotels. What can make the difference: in the restaurant, if there are high chairs available, some centers also have chairs available. A real plus if you want to have dinner with your baby comfortably installed. Better to ask before.

Who will keep the b e e b?

In some thalassotherapy centers, there is a nursery with qualified personnel (auxiliary childcare). They can therefore accommodate babies from 3 months. Most of the time one is accompanied by her husband, mother or a friend who keeps the baby during the thalasso care of his mother. Note: Accommodation and accompanying breakfast are offered in some centers. A crucial point to check before booking.

On site, is there not too much waiting between care?

When you have a baby waiting at the nursery or in your room, every minute is precious and it is better not to wait too long between thalassotherapy treatments. Especially if you are still breastfeeding. Fortunately in these cases, institutions are flexible in their program and can easily switch care.

Are there any contraindications to know before offering yourself a post-natal thalassotherapy cure?

Most of the time, the cure begins with a medical examination which makes it possible to establish if there are - or not - individual contraindications. Normally a woman who has just had a child is in good health. The only point on which one must be vigilant during the thalassotherapy cure mom-baby: the use of essential oils because they are incompatible with breastfeeding. In this case, simply state that the care will be without essential oil (in baths, body wraps or massages) and the hydrotherapist will replace them with algae (avoid on the breasts when breastfeeding for the footprint tasty that they leave).
