Despite its modest duration, the film has been viewed millions of times and has struck a chord with many people. “This is the purest thing on the internet,” one user said, adding, “Wow, it’s really nice to see this.” I start to smile as I watch.”
A touching short film about twin babies receiving the Thalasso treatment. The first impression (which is misled by the video’s title) is that the two infants have just been delivered and are still being held in some womb-like environment to maintain the illusion that they have not yet been born. The truth is less stunning, yet it nevertheless has a profound effect on a newborn.
Sonia Rochel, a French nurse, devised a method to “welcome” newborns into the world by replicating the environment in the womb from which they had been forcibly taken. “I invented this specific bathing technique that is there to welcome the newborn in complete gentleness,” she explains. It’s like a welcome gift to them as they enter this world.”
Sonia has been working with infants and young children for nearly 30 years, and she has witnessed many different methods to childbirth and post-natal care throughout that time. “In particular, I met a midwife, who showed me many lovely things.” The most important lesson Grandma taught me was that we must take our time with newborns.
Sonia, on the other hand, is more concerned about taking time. She spent a lot of time monitoring infants and listening to what they were trying to tell us. “We hear a variety of sounds as background sounds.” We hear it, but we don’t fully comprehend it. So, after going through this, I made a pledge to myself that I would do something for these babies.”
Based on her results, Sonia progressively developed the procedure today known as the Thalasso baby bath method. “Most of all,” Sonia says, “it’s about shifting the whole idea of a bath so that it becomes less rigid, more about enjoyment than hygiene.” I’d like to change the meaning of a baby bath: it’s not about washing under the arms, feet, ears, and so on. A bath is first and foremost about relaxing, feeling good, and so on, and it would be amazing if we could accept it as the new definition of a bath.”
Be cautious; there is no issue with your speakers or lack of hearing, but I dare you not to be as engaged in this as the two infants are. (A lovely surprise awaits you at the end of the video, so make sure you watch all the way through.)
