Thank goodness there is [a spa](http://www.today.com/parents/baby-spa-takes-stress-out-being-infant-floating-massage-2D79706599) where babies to treat themselves after a long day of staring at the mobile. > [](https://twitter.com/FloatBaby/status/454351033393610752) [Float Baby](http://floatbabies.com/) recently opened in Houston, Texas, and it provides 130 (and counting) newborns to [one-year-olds](https://twitter.com/FloatBaby) hydrotherapy and neonatal massages. Parents perform the massages with instruction from Float Baby staff. A visit costs $65. “What we find is that the babies find the water very soothing and relaxing,” owner [Kristi Ison told the _TODAY Show_](http://www.today.com/parents/baby-spa-takes-stress-out-being-infant-floating-massage-2D79706599). “The newborns especially like it, we see them float and then have a little cat nap while they’re floating. The older babies, they really like to kick around and splash and socialize.” They do seem pretty peaceful. > [](https://twitter.com/FloatBaby/status/413309398707351554) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2837677/infants-can-finally-treat-themselves-at-a-baby-spa/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2837677/infants-can-finally-treat-themselves-at-a-baby-spa/"},"headline":"Infants Can Finally Treat Themselves at a Baby Spa","datePublished":"2014-06-06T15:10:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:27.666Z","description":"Because it's hard out there for a baby.","url":"https://time.com/2837677/infants-can-finally-treat-themselves-at-a-baby-spa/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Living","Family","Appreciation","baby"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2837677/infants-can-finally-treat-themselves-at-a-baby-spa/","name":"Infants Can Finally Treat Themselves at a Baby Spa"}}]}] ```
