Something special

The swaddle bath

A gentle moment to reconnect. Wrapped snugly in a soft cloth and gently immersed in warm water, your baby rediscovers the comfort of the womb: warm, secure and held.

You do the holding. I am simply here to guide you, step by step, in your own home and your own bath.

Portrait of Maud, founder of Parenthèse

Meet Maud

Founder of Parenthèse

Maud is a perinatal caregiver with a deep passion for early childhood, a stage of life that shapes both children and the parents who raise them.

Over many years she has worked with children and families around the world: in schools, an orphanage, a childcare centre, after-school programs, as a nanny. These experiences taught her how much young children need to feel safe, seen and understood, and how much parents need support, reassurance and kindness along the way.

The perfect gift for a baby shower or a first visit to the new family: a moment of calm and connection, instead of another romper.
