A calm, gentle first appointment, so you know exactly what to expect and can relax with your little one.
In brief
At your baby's first osteopathy visit in Dubai, Dr Dominique Boudet, D.O., listens to your story, gently observes your baby and uses very soft techniques for comfort. The visit is calm and unhurried, a full osteopathic assessment, with your pediatrician involved whenever the situation calls for it.
First visitThere is little to prepare. Bring your baby dressed comfortably, with a spare nappy, a feed if it may be due, and anything that soothes. It often helps to come when your baby is not overtired, though Dr Boudet will always work around your little one's mood.
Feel free to jot down any questions beforehand.
Dr Boudet begins by listening to you: the birth, feeding, sleep and what you have noticed. He then gently observes how your baby moves and uses very soft cranial and visceral contact. You stay close throughout, and you are welcome to feed or comfort your baby at any point.
Some babies are calm or sleepy afterwards, others a little more alert for a time, which is quite normal. Dr Boudet will share any simple suggestions and let you know if a short follow up feels useful. Osteopathy remains gentle support alongside your pediatrician's care.
Yes, entirely. Dr Boudet uses only very soft, age-adapted contact, with no forceful movements. The first visit is calm and reassuring, with a full osteopathic reading of your baby's body and needs.
Allow a little extra time for the first visit, as Dr Boudet listens carefully to your baby's story before the gentle hands-on part. The pace is unhurried, so your baby feels at ease.
Either is fine. A recently fed baby is often calmer, and you are very welcome to feed or comfort your baby during the session whenever needed. Do whatever feels easiest for you both.
Sometimes yes, sometimes a short follow up helps, depending on your baby and the reason for coming. Dr Boudet will always share honestly what feels reasonable, with no pressure at all.
