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
- 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
- Babies were more settled after osteopathic treatment
- Mothers felt better once their babies were more settled
Baby Check Bath (CIO) provides a charity funded, free osteopathy service for new Mums & babies in need in Bath & North East Somerset, established 2015
