Baby bliss!
Unveil the relaxation and joy for your little one at Baby Spa New Zealand- a haven for baby wellness! What is Baby Spa? Baby Spa New Zealand is an exceptionally unique experience, offering hydrotherapy and infant massage for babies aged from two days to eight months. While hydrotherapy for infants has been around globally for over fifteen years, it is a new concept in New Zealand – one that we are passionate about sharing! Benefits of Baby Spa: Hydrotherapy for infants facilitate a seamless transition from the womb to a baby’s first swimming lesson. Over time, our exploration has revealed a multitude of advantages stemming from this practice. These include: + Strengthened muscles and bones + Promotion of restful sleep + Alleviation of colic, wind, and reflux + Strengthened tummy time, rolling and crawling + Improved digestion + Improved social skills + Improved cognitive abilities + Improved coordination + Increased lung capacity + Positive water association
It is common for babies to sleep between two and five hours after a session, based on feedback we have received from our clients. We also found that it can be a very powerful bonding experience, with baby moving freely in the water for the first time under the loving look of mum or dad. Regular attendance will see the best benefits and so we encourage parents to bring their babies from as young as possible. Most of our clients come once a week, this ensures it is part of your routine. Booking Made Easy: Reserving your Baby Spa session is a breeze! Simply visit our website, choose your preferred time slot, and prepare for a magical experience. Plus, at just $95 per session, or even less with concessions (5 pack $425, and 10 pack $795) or a voucher for Christmas online.

The next evolution in skin health Huggies® Newborn & Infant Nappies with a Clinically Proven * Zinc Enriched Layer. Did you know baby’s skin actually develops throughout the first year of their life, making it incredibly important to provide protection from day 1. That’s why we created Huggies Newborn Nappies, clinically proven* to help protect their skin against irritation. With a revolutionary zinc-oxide enriched layer, Huggies Newborn Nappies help protect baby’s skin, better than ever.
*Contains zinc as zinc oxide. This claim is based on a clinical study conducted at an independent laboratory, using adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin.Results showed significantly less irritation when using liner with Huggies® Zinc Enriched treatment vs control (without treatment). ®/™Trademarks of Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc or its affliates ©KCWW

Step 1 Paint base board for the tray table with a paint brush or small roller. We used Resene Space Cote low sheen in Resene Tea. Do two coats for best coverage. Step 2 Measure and cut your end pieces of wood with a jigsaw so they are 56.4 cm long and 6.5 cm wide. Step 3 Paint your side and end pieces of pine, we used Resene Triple Tea. Step 4 On a table or flat surface lay out your pieces of wood and lay your base board (front side down) on top of the wood pieces. Adjust the pieces of pine underneath so everything lines up. Then drill holes for your screws. Step 5 Screw the timber screws in place around the frame securing from the back of the tray base board. Step 6 Place the castor wheels onto the bottom of the tray base and screw in. Step 7 Flip tray over and slip under bed ready for play time.
