From Spa to Swim: How Sweet Memories Baby Spa Helps Prepare Your Baby for the Water

There’s something incredibly special about the early days with your newborn: soft skin, tiny fingers, and those quiet moments of connection. For me, one of the most treasured experiences I’ve had with both of my daughters was taking them to the Baby Spa.

With both of them, I started visiting the Baby Spa at just 4 weeks old. My girls suffered from tummy cramps, and having a moment at the Baby Spa gave them a gentle, natural way of support. The warm water and floatation therapy worked wonders. It helped soothe their bodies, supported their digestion, and most of all, it gave them, and myself, a moment of peace. After the “three crampy months,” our visits became less about relief and more about pure enjoyment and bonding.

The benefits of these little Spa Sessions have been just as beautiful. Both of my girls even had tiny double dates with their baby friends, which gave us moms a chance to share, laugh, and connect while our babies floated and kicked around peacefully.

But where do you find a Baby Spa that knows how to take care of your baby, who has only been in this world for a few weeks? Say no more. I will tell you where I went in this column!

In the peaceful town of Leidschendam, Sweet Memories Baby Spa offers a warm, welcoming space where new parents can treat their little ones to relaxation, comfort, and developmental care, all in one place.

A baby spa is more than a luxury. The warm water and gentle hydrotherapy help ease common newborn discomforts such as colic, gas, and tension in the body. Babies who regularly visit a baby spa often sleep better, digest more easily, and feel more relaxed. The floating sessions also support motor development, coordination, and body awareness in a safe and nurturing environment.

But perhaps one of the biggest hidden benefits for me personally is this: it gently introduces babies to water. By building confidence and comfort in warm water from a young age, baby spa sessions lay the foundation for easier swimming lessons later on. Your baby learns to move freely, feel safe, and trust the water, all before their first official swim class.

Massage is another key component, stimulating circulation, boosting the immune system, and encouraging bonding between parent and child. It’s a sensory experience that nurtures both the body and the emotions of the baby.

Why Sweet Memories?

Sweet Memories Baby Spa stands out for its personal, heart-centered care. Sonnur, the owner, worked in maternity care for years before starting her Baby Spa. She knows how vulnerable you can be as a new mom and what your baby needs in those early months of their life.

She is not only trained, but deeply committed to making every visit special. Whether it’s your first time or part of your weekly ritual, you’ll feel supported and seen. The space is calm, clean, and beautifully designed, a true sanctuary for parents and babies alike.

Every session is a moment of connection, calm, and wonder, a chance to slow down and create truly sweet memories that stay with you for a lifetime. These last 10 months were some of the kindest bonding memories we had, and now it is time for her new “water” chapter.
