Becky and I are relatively new parents, and we know how fortunate we are that our daughter is healthy. Becoming a parent is life-changing at the best of times & it must be incredibly hard when you or your baby need support but you simply can’t afford it.
That’s why I’m running the Bath Half Marathon (with a much faster friend!) to support Baby Check Bath.
Baby Check Bath is run by a close friend of ours and provides FREE postnatal osteopathy to babies and mothers on low incomes across Bath and North East Somerset. Each year, they support up to 200 babies and their mums, offering vital care at a time when families are often at their most vulnerable.
How Baby Check Bath helps
Babies are treated for:
Problems turning their head or lying on their back
Check-ups after traumatic births
Issues such as turned-in feet or sticky eyes
Colic, reflux, wind and digestion issues
Difficulty settling or sleeping
Breastfeeding difficulties
Mothers are supported with:
Recovery after traumatic birth experiences
Emotional distress and low mood
Back and muscle pain
Traumatic births can be a major trigger for postnatal mental health challenges, including postnatal depression. Supporting both baby and mother together plays a crucial role in their recovery and long-term wellbeing.
The impact
Babies were noticeably more settled after treatment
Mothers felt better once their babies were more settled
50% of mums had experienced a traumatic birth
100% said they would recommend the service
68% had never seen an osteopath before Baby Check Bath
If you’re able to, please consider donating to support this incredible local charity and help ensure that no family goes without what can be essential postnatal care simply because of cost.

In aiming to make this more of a challenge, I have been doing all my training running to and from work [inc via the nursery our daughter goes to] and not training outside of this. I will post my time on linkedin post run, along with the time that my running buddy beats me by on the day.
