Everyone at the spa!
How to resist the call of a bath in the thermal vapours. Short wellness breaks that couples often allow themselves in the name of the most romantic relaxation. Does the arrival of a child mean having to change destination for our weekends? Not necessarily. If in fact the dilemma 'can I take my child to a spa?' is widespread (and motivated) among mothers, the question finds an answer in the proposals of the most famous Italian spas. The thought of experts is now shared regarding the benefits that spas can bring to the immune and respiratory systems of children: pollution makes their bodies more and more sensitive to problems such as bronchitis, laryngitis, otitis. A stay at the spa, even if short, can become an opportunity to combat these pathologies - or in any case try to prevent them - and, at the same time, to have fun in the pool with your children. The destination spas represent the trends of the moment and the structures are equipped.
For the living room
The proposals designed for families are very popular and spa hotels have organized themselves: family rooms, play areas, baby sitting during parental treatments, entertainment programs, children's menus, availability of bicycles equipped with child seats and dedicated excursions are just some of the services that the family will find by choosing to spend their short vacation in a spa.
In water
Swim, play, relax in the thermal pools or take part in aquatics courses specifically organized for mothers and newborns (infant aquatics, pregnant aquatics, prenatal courses, pregnant and newborn courses).
To keep in mind
■ Not all spas accept children, better check
before the minimum age and any entry times
(in order not to disturb the peace of the spa area).
■ Find out about the characteristics of the thermal waters: those
sulphurous, for example, are to be avoided due to the risk of intoxication
from sulphur.
■ It is recommended not to immerse children in hot water
higher than 32-35° C, which is then close to the temperature
bodily.
■ It is preferable not to prolong the immersion in the thermal pool
beyond the deadline indicated by the center staff.
■ Avoid saunas and Turkish baths due to the temperature
elevated.
