Helping you & your baby flourish…
Registered Charity: 1196275
Baby Check Bath is a pioneering registered charity, with research objectives, dedicated to providing a FREE postnatal osteopathy service for mums & babies from low income families living in Bath & North East Somerset.
Baby Check Bath offers parents the opportunity to have their baby assessed and treated by a registered osteopath. Mums are also able to receive a free postnatal check and osteopathic treatment as part of the Baby Check Bath service. Our team of osteopaths has a wealth of experience in treating babies & new mothers, and we are passionate about making this service more freely available.
Mums and babies are treated using osteopathy to help with feeding, sleep and settling into the early weeks after birth.

Research
Baby Check Bath CIO is an active member of BSW Research Hub based at the University of Bath and receives research support from the University’s School of Management. Baby Check Bath gratefully receives a research grant from The Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy www.scco.ac.
Baby Check Bath (CIO) was delighted to receive Healthwatch Community Pot research funding in 2021-2022 to study the effect of osteopathic treatment on the postnatal health & wellbeing of new mothers and their babies.
Babies were treated for colic, reflux, “wind”/ digestion issues, difficulty settling & sleeping, difficulty turning their head/ lying on their back, breastfeeding problems, check-up after a traumatic birth, turned in foot/sticky eye
Mothers were treated for back pain, feeling emotional& depressed, muscle pain. Having a traumatic birth experience can be a trigger for postnatal mental health issues in new mothers, including postnatal depression. Helping these babies and their mothers recover is an important part of supporting their postnatal health and wellbeing.
Babies were more settled after osteopathic treatment
Mothers felt better once their babies were more settled.
50% of Mums had experienced a traumatic birth.
100% of Mums said they would recommend our service to other families.
68% of Mums had not been to an Osteopath before.
More than 1,000 babies treated…
