A softer start in life

Premature babies begin life early and often after time in special care. They can be more sensitive to touch, sound and light, and may carry tension from their early days. Feeding, settling and calm can all take a little more time and tenderness.

Gentle osteopathy respects your baby's pace, watching closely for signs of comfort and ease.

What a very gentle session involves

Dr Boudet uses the softest cranial, cranio-sacral and biodynamic contact, often barely more than a still, listening touch. Everything is slow and quiet. Your baby stays close to you, and the session pauses whenever your baby needs a rest.

  • Extremely light, still, listening contact
  • A calm, low stimulation environment
  • Gentle guidance on holding and soothing at home

Who it is for

These sessions are for premature babies who are home, stable and cleared by their medical team. Osteopathy is gentle, individualised support and a discipline of its own. Any medical follow up, feeding plan or specialist advice from your pediatrician and neonatal team always comes first.

Frequently asked questions

Premature babies

Is osteopathy safe for a premature baby?

When your baby is home, stable and cleared by the medical team, the very gentle touch is suitable. Dr Boudet uses only the softest contact, and works in dialogue with your pediatrician and neonatal team when the situation calls for it.

When can a premature baby be seen?

Once home and medically stable, with your pediatrician's agreement. There is no rush. A quick word at booking helps make sure the timing feels right and safe for your baby.

Will the session tire my baby?

The touch is extremely light and paced to your baby, with pauses for rest. The aim is comfort and calm, not effort, and Dr Boudet watches closely for any sign your baby needs a break.

How many sessions might be needed?

It varies with each baby and is always gentle and unhurried. Dr Boudet may suggest spaced, short sessions and will review comfort and progress with you as your baby grows.
