Floating Baby Heads

Yep. You read that right.
Floating. Baby. Heads.
Sounds strange, but oddly  enough, it wasn’t.

Let me explain.

There is a little baby boutique in a very nice part of Chengdu which also has a sort of baby spa. Mothers take their precious little children to be pampered, cleaned, and “floated” at this spa. There are giant buckets that are filled with warm water which the babies are placed in. Now, these are very tiny babies. Not just toddlers, but infants.

Each baby’s body gets put through this tiny little flotation device, and then its head is secured. They are then able to float around, all the while keeping their head above the water. It’s really unusual, but interesting.

They even sell supplies so you can do it at home.
