Baby Check Bath CIO aims to benefit:

Individual babies and their immediate family

Communication with other health professionals involved with the care of babies - principally health visitors, midwives, lactation consultants, GP's and paediatricians.

Parents by collecting data and writing up the results of the full-service evaluation so they can make more informed choices about treatment for their children. This is extremely important. In the present situation, parents often hear about osteopathy but can't get any information from their health professionals and have to resort to hearsay or internet searching to find out more

The wider professional osteopathy community by encouraging further research and by providing training facilities for postgraduate osteopaths wanting to gain experience in the treatment of children

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.
The average course of treatment is 6 sessions costing £200. In order to create a sustainable team of experienced practitioners, we are looking for a budget of £50,000 for the first year. This will be raised by individual contributions from existing patients, appeals to trusts and other research bodies.

We urgently need support for this service for babies in the Bath and North East Somerset area. If you can help in any way please contact Baby Check reception on 01225 460106. Any donations, large or small, would be greatly appreciated.

About us

The Women's Work Lab C.I.C supports mums to become work ready. We exist to facilitate our participants to become the best versions of themselves, whatever that looks like. Ambition is unique to an individual and we will always aim to help someone identify it and then take the necessary steps to achieve it.

Our bespoke classroom training, work placement and career coaching programmes focus on building confidence, ambition and employability skills. We specialise in unlocking potential and laying the foundations for a brighter future.

And we get results! Outcomes for participants include new careers, further training and crucially the creation of a vital support network. Sixty percent of our 2022 graduates are now back working.

Join our mums

Are you looking to find a career that fits around your family and fulfills you? We understand it can be hard to know where to start! We want to support you on your journey back into work via our school hours and term time only training, work placement and career coaching programme.

We are currently accepting applications from mums receiving benefits and want to support you to build your confidence through the skills we teach and our hands-on approach to learning.

We don't mind why you're out of work, or for how long it has been - we would just like to support you to find your own path back to employment. Our programme is perfect for those who are motivated to re-start their career but aren't quite sure how to get going. 100% of our recent graduates now feel confident about applying for a new job and returning to the workplace (from 54% before the programme began).

Offer a work placement

We work with businesses in the South West who are keen to offer entry-level work placements to our participants. Our mums may either be looking for a career change or more usually will have been out of work for at least a year. Many have faced challenges including domestic abuse, lone parenting, children with SEN or home displacement.

The work placement is far from a tick box exercise! We support you to create job descriptions and work schedules to give our mums a truly meaningful experience.

We are currently looking to connect with businesses in North Somerset, Bristol, Bath and South Gloucestershire who are interested in offering work placements.

It's natural if you feel a range of conflicted emotions after you have had a baby, but if thinking about your pregnancy, birth or the time after birth still leaves you feeling unsettled several weeks, months or even years later, then this service may be helpful towards resolvingany issues.

A pregnancy and the birth of your baby can have a profound affect on you, your family, and your parenting journey. If your experience was not as you had planned or hoped for, if you are unclear about what happened, or if complications arose then you may be left struggling to understand and manage your feelings. In some cases you may even be left feeling traumatised from everything that you have been through. Your pregnancy and birth experience are as unique as you are. Your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be heard - what feels authentic to you is always real.

From baby bump through to sleepy newborns. Sessions cost £39 to book, Calne, Wiltshire

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From baby bump through to sleepy newborns and onto the tentative first steps from adventurous toddlers, we've been creating photographs to treasure of the most precious members of your family for over 30 years.

Sessions cost £39 to book and o ur bespoke service is all about taking unique, personal images just for you. Capturing those most precious of moments in time so that you can share them with your family and friends.

Our warm, comfortable and welcoming baby safe studio is the perfect place to relax and enjoy this special time in your life, as you get used to being a family. We've held the Master Photographers Association Certificate for Newborn Safety for over three years, as part of our commitment to caring for the families that visit us, so you can be sure that we'll look after you and your new baby.

Those first weeks will quickly go by and your baby won't stay tiny for long. Before you know it, they will be starting to explore the world around them and that first stage will be over.

WHAT AGE SHOULD MY BABY BE FOR A "NEWBORN" PHOTOSHOOT SESSION?

Newborn sessions normally take place within the first 2 weeks of your baby being born. This is so we can capture those soft, curled, sleepy images that your baby will soon grow out of. We can provisionally book these sessions based on your due date. This is particularly important to do as we only have a limited number of newborn sessions available each week. We know that babies rarely arrive on time (they're always trying to catch us out!) so don't worry if we have to rearrange appointments if your baby is earlier or later than expected.

Where possible, we suggest that you book in a provisional date for your newborn session, based on your due date, when you reach around your 20th week. The appointment can then remain a flexible date in our diary. Once you've had your baby, we'll ask that you get in touch with us to confirm that the date in the diary still works for you, or reschedule if not.

Your new born session is likely to last around 3 hours, to allow for baby to be fed, changed and settled during the photoshoot. We also feel that it's really important to us that you, as new parents, have time to relax and enjoy your newborn photoshoot as those early days with a new baby can be totally exhausting!

Our aim is to create soft, beautiful images for you to treasure, of this very special time in your lives. You are welcome to bring along any items that you'd like to include, such as toys, baby blankets, and maybe some of the gifts you may have been given for baby. Alternatively, we have a wide range of soft blankets, cloth wraps, hats, headbands etc available to choose from, here at the studio.

SIBLINGS

Becoming a big brother or sister can be an exciting time for some, for others it may take a little while to get used to having another little one around. It's important for them to feel involved so please let us know if you'd like to include some sibling shots of them and the new addition together.

MATERNITY SESSIONS

Our maternity photoshoots are a great way to capture the last weeks of your pregnancy. We recommend sessions take place around 34-38 weeks, as a guide. If you'd like a lasting reminder of your pregnancy curves, please call us as soon as possible. We'll create beautiful, sensitive and artistic images for you to treasure.

Book an appointment for any of our photoshoots through our 24 hour ONLINE DIARY. Alternatively, please call the studio on 01249 816707 and leave a message, if you have any questions at all.

Pregnancy is the natural condition of childbearing. It brings great changes not only in the body but also in the emotions and psyche of the mother.

I mostly follow the Suzanne Enzer technique with whom I am registered, utilising reflexology, massage and maternity aromatherapy- all-natural therapies to support a natural event (pregnancy & birthing).

Reflexology continues to establish its reputation and popularity by the effective results people experience. Empiric knowledge and research studies have demonstrated that those receiving regular reflexology during pregnancy have better pregnancies and have shorter birthing with less intervention. More information about gentle birthing can be found on Dr.Gowrie Motha's website.

Reflexology can be a beautiful way to support your wellbeing during pregnancy.
A safe, enjoyable, gentle therapy. The calming effects of reflexology create a wonderfully harmonious environment for your baby - a shared journey of calm and connection. Many conditions, from pelvic girdle pain to swollen ankles, fatigue and even breech or transverse presentations can be helped by this therapy.

I aim to optimise the health potential of the pregnant woman. I will give you reflexology advice, along with, if needed, lifestyle and naturopathic advice. If you are facing any serious challenges, I will ensure that you are placed in the care of your appropriate clinical practitioners and not give medical advice.

When the baby is fully engaged, post full term, and you have been given a date that you are not allowed to go past, then a technique called priming can be used. Priming for labour is designed to stimulate strongly specific reflex zones with the intention of creating a boost of energy to encourage labour contractions.

It is preferable to have had regular sessions prior to this so that the mother is balanced well. read client review

Fertility

Please also see this link about Reproflexology https://carolinejosling.com/treatments/reproflexology-for-fertility-in-bath/

Reflexology can be used to help balance hormones and prepare for pregnancy. It can be used to support conventional fertility treatments and to help strengthen your resilience to the potential stress this often brings. Optimal outcomes are gained usually over time with weekly treatments (I sell discounted courses). It can be very effective to use before IVF or other medical interventions as a preparation and to help combat the stress that often accompanies this tender time.

I wanted to let you know that I am pregnant!!!!!!! And no IVf needed, it was all natural. I conceived my second child naturally (after having to have IVF with the first). We are so so excited and happy, and have you to thank for this. I am 16 weeks along, so conceived in January, and I really believe that reflexology has helped. So a big Huge THANK YOU to you.

5 years of swimming!

My daughter has been swimming with water babies since she was 6 weeks old she is now 5, loves swimming and very confident in the water. Living by the sea it is important to me that she is confident and knows how to be safe in and around water.

Water Babies lessons are such good fun

Water Babies lessons are such good fun for both the children and the adults with them. The swimming instructors are excellent- caring, friendly, fun but clear and informative. I can't rate Waterbabies high enough!

Great experience with water babies

We absolutely loved taking her daughter swimming! The pool water and room was the perfect temperature which made it relaxing. The instructor was perfect - warm, informative, understanding and fun. We felt very safe and confident during and afterwards. Definitely recommend! Thank you.

The Full Package

PLEASE NOTE: My third baby is arriving in May and I am currently fully booked for doula clients before then. I won't be taking full doula support clients until I am ready to be on-call again, mostly likely in 2025! I will continue to offer virtual doula support, so please drop me a line to check my availability for your due date!

We will have 8 hours together before your baby's birth. These sessions will include lots of listening (to you!), de-briefing, evidence-based birth preparation, hypnobirthing, writing your birth plans, infant feeding education, relaxation sessions and lots of food, tea, cake and chat.

I am on call for you from around 37 weeks. If you go into labour before then, I will always do my very best to attend the birth. I will attend you at home, birth centre or hospital, wherever you need me. I'll stay with you until your baby is born and you are tucked up in bed with your beautiful baby and some yummy food. I will help to protect you birth space and support you and your birth partner, whatever your wishes for your birth.

You will receive 6 hours of postnatal support, split how you wish. The first visit will usually be within 24 hours of the birth, coming regularly for around the first six weeks. The meetings will often take place in your home and are led by you and your needs to during this time. This could look like feeding support, time to have a shower, a rest, or just a chat (with cake!) There's always the possibility to add more postnatal hours to this ad hoc.

Optional Extra
I highly recommend attending an antenatal course alongside our doula sessions. If you choose to, as a doula client you are entitled to a space on my full Hypnobirthing course for half price.
Doula package investment: £1500
Our initial meeting will take place in a local cafe and will be free of charge, to establish our connection and make sure we'll work well together.
My fee reflects my continuing experience, knowledge and the depth of service I provide. I will accept installments and flexibility and am open to discussions about making it work for us both.

Mary Hillyard

Hi everyone,

I'm a mum of two, and I've been practising yoga for over twenty years. During my own pregnancies I felt the mental and physical benefits of a regular practice more than ever. This inspired me to train with LushTums to deliver beautiful classes to help women find strength and peace in their pregnancies, and empower them through labour and birth. It's an honour to be a part of the pregnancy journey for many soon-to-be-mothers. I look forward to welcoming you to my LushTums Pregnancy Yoga classes soon!

Love Mary xx

Our Story
Here at The Nest Project we aim to provide clothing and equipment for children aged 0-5 completely free of charge. We are also here to be a listening ear and to point you in the direction of other services and help that you can access. During term times we run drop-in toddler groups where you can order items that you need. We would love to welcome you in for a cup of tea and cake, and create a space for you to chat whilst your little ones play. Head to our GET page for more details.
Why? We believe every child deserves to be warm and provided for. We are a Vineyard Bath Church compassion project that is committed to blessing and serving those in our community.

Who? Who? Anyone living in BANES can come along to one of our groups and use our service. We understand that children grow quickly and you're welcome to keep on coming back as you need items. If you are an agency or foster carer, you can fill in a form on our GET page and access our service on behalf of a client without attending one of our groups.

How? We rely on donations of mostly second hand items, given to us by other families in the area who no longer need them. We love that we are reusing and recycling items that are already in our community, and are able to pass them on to those who need them.

See how you can access items here.

Birth Doula Package - Strong Doula Support (from £1500)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What you may want from a Doula, might not necessarily fit a 'package', but as a starting point, the package listed below is the one I routinely offer. Obviously it can be tweaked to suit you, please just get in touch if you would like to talk about the various options.

This is free and you are under no obligation. It is a chance for us to meet and talk about you and your experiences, and what you would like, for you to gauge whether you think you would be comfortable working with me, and for me to explain a bit about what I do. It is then up to you to decide whether you would like to employ me. Once you have made that decision, and confirmed this with me, I will book you in, and ensure that I don't take any other clients with similar Estimated Due Dates.

These are opportunities for us to get together (with or without any partner/birth partner/friends or family you may also want with you at the birth) and discuss your pregnancy so far as well as your preferences for birth. We could debrief any previous pregnancy and birth you may have had. These are useful exercises to ascertain what worked well for you, and what is important to you to change. We can also create a comprehensive 'birth intentions' plan together, and talk through your options and choices. If you would like company, or support at midwife/consultant appointments, I'm also happy to attend these where possible. We often look at the physiology of birth, talk about the different stages of labour- and what we might expect. We can also discuss your feeding preferences. If there are any particular issues you are concerned about, I would help signpost you to relevant information. These meetings are relaxed and informal - and there is nearly always cake involved! It is a time for us to develop our relationship so that you feel fully supported and confident about your birth. I am always contactable via phone or email alongside this.
On call and support at the birth

I will go 'on call' for you from 37 weeks until baby is born. This may mean I'm on call for 6 weeks, and that is fine! If your baby were to arrive early, I would still make every possible effort to be with you. Being on call means that I don't travel more than an hour from either my home or your intended birth place, so that I can get to you quickly and easily. It means I have childcare plans in place for my own children, a car full of fuel and change for any necessary parking! I have a birth bag that I carry with me, that includes various items I have found useful to have throughout a labour. I have my phone on 24/7 and am contactable any time of day or night. If I am anywhere where my phone signal may be patchy, I will always give you an alternative number to contact me on.

Once you are in labour, and decide you would like me to be with you, I stay with you until baby is born. I don't usually leave you until you are settled and comfortable, have preferably eaten and had a cup of tea, and baby has had the first feed.

The first postnatal visit is usually within the first week after birth - so that we have the opportunity to quickly work through any issues that may arise and for you to talk through your experiences. I am happy to support feeding - however you choose to do it, I am also happy to spend time at the family home - helping out where needed. It may be that you would like to have half an hour to walk outside, in which case, I'm more than happy to look after baby. We would check that you are able to rest and recover, and discuss any concerns you may have.

We would then arrange another meeting, to ensure that you were happy with the level of support you were receiving. Again, I am happy to work with you to help out where YOU feel it would be most beneficial. These visits also usually include cake...!

It is then up to you whether you would still like support from me in a Postnatal Doula role. I remain contactable if you have any queries or concerns further down the line, but generally I step back after a few postnatal meetings, and leave you to grow and explore parenthood and enjoy your new baby.

The fee for this package is £800, with £300 payable at the beginning (once you confirm and book me) and the remainder to be paid before 37 weeks (this is primarily so that you don't have to worry about anything else just before/just after giving birth!) I am very happy to agree payment plans if requested - please just ask.

Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding support in Bath from experienced Doula (from £1,200)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The word 'doula' comes from the Greek word meaning a woman who has given birth herself and gives another woman help and assistance. It's an old tradition but one that is as relevant as ever today. Our modern lives mean that traditional family support is not always there for expectant mothers. For many reasons the immediate support of grandmothers, mothers or sisters won't be available. The doula is there to take their place and offer the same care and support. She's there to offer practical guidance and emotional help. Above all she is there to listen. She's someone you can be completely honest and open with about how you are feeling because she's been there herself. As well as providing help she is there to create an environment where a woman giving birth can feel safe and secure. She is also there to listen, and to act as a communicator between the mother, her partner and the midwife.

Studies have shown that the presence of a doula at the birth has a positive effect on mother and baby. Labours can be shorter and less painful and there are less caesarean births. This means a happier experience for mothers and consequently healthier babies and provides the best possible start for the relationship between mother and baby.

Antenatal and Birth Packages

Chaya offers a comprehensive birth package for £600 plus travelling expenses in the Bath area. The package is designed to give you all of the support you need, making sure your concerns are addressed, questions answered and reassurance and guidance given.

Free initial consultation that lasts for up to an hour.

Minimum two home visits before the birth. During these visits Chaya will establish an understanding of your needs and concerns while building a positive relationship so that she can provide the necessary practical and emotional support.

Available by phone and/or e-mail and on-call for you, twenty-four hours a day, two weeks before your due date until labour begins.

Attend the birth when labour starts and to be with you when you need her.

Use of an inflatable birth pool (you will need to supply your own disposable liner which costs about £30).

Your own unique birth story, written for your baby within six weeks of the birth.

Please see Postnatal Support page for further information on support available for the postnatal period only.
