Rub a Dub Dub... Baby Bath Time !

I love bath time!  It's part of our nightly routine and one of my favourite times of the day. 

Here are some of our bath time favourites:

Simon in his Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub

This is so adorable !  I received it as a gift and Simon loves it.  It offers a bit more peace of mind when bathing babies that are still a little wobbly in sit up position, because they can't really slip around or tip over.  Obviously, this goes without saying, but you would never leave them unattended, it just prevents you from breaking your ribs while bending over a tub and supporting the weight of a 20 pounder.  Features:  Non slip bottom, a "quacking" beak, a temperature guide, bottom plug to release the water and suction cup to hang it to dry inside the shower/tub.

Features 13 water toys and everything fits inside the boat for easy storage.  I received it as a gift, but I believe it's sold at Target and "specialty" children's stores/ boutiques.  LOVE this. 

B. Curious "Fish and Splish"

Johnson's Baby Products have been around for over 100 years.  Here are my favourites:

Lavender Shampoo - smells so good and of course Lavender is supposed to help babies (and adults) wind down and relax before bed.

Honey Apple Body Wash - smells so yummy and doesn't dry out baby's skin.  I always squirt a little in the bath water.  

Bedtime Lotion - supposed to contain a blend of soothing aromas - try giving your baby a message using this before bed 

 

Hooded Baby Towels

Hooded Baby Towels.  There's nothing cuter, and for an added je ne sais pas, you can throw it in the dryer for a minute or two to make it nice and toasty.

MY BATH TIME TIPS:

• Get your baby used to the water at an early age so that bath time doesn't become contentious. 
• If they know that they will get a bath every night, (and hair wash every second night) then there will be no arguments because you've made it part of their routine.
• Teach them not to fear water.  Don't worry about a little bit of water in the eyes or playtime splashing.  
• Most importantly, make it fun!  If bath time is a chore for you, babies can sense that.  So, sing, tickle, play and smile at them, and if all else fails, hop right in there with them !
