Making Bath Time Fun And Safe For Your Baby

Author : Sarah Veda -
As your baby grows larger, that little tiny counter top bathtub will become a thing of the past. But, putting a baby into a big bathtub can be frightening for both of you. Here are some ideas to make bath time fun and safe for you and your little one.



Take a bath together

Your baby will love having you play and splash with her, especially if she is a little afraid of the big bathtub. This works best when baby is old enough to sit up on her own, so you donÂ’t have to hold her the entire time.



Buy a bath ring

Bath rings are great for babies who canÂ’t sit unsupported just yet, because they keep the baby from slipping down into the water



Try an inflatable bathtub

Inflatable tubs fit snugly down inside your bath tub. They are soft, with big puffy sides that help keep baby upright. Plus, these tubs make the large tub seem a little smaller and less overwhelming to the baby. I found this to be a great way to transition my children into the big tub.



Buy lots of bath toys

If your child is a little fearful of the tub, the best way to deal with the fear is to take his mind off it. There are loads of toys for the bath, from a plain old rubber ducky, to battery operated fish that swim around, to paints designed for writing right on the walls. Find the right combination of bath toys, and only let him play with them in the bath, and you should be able to turn bath time into the favorite time of day.



Color the water

There are some great bath time products that can color your bath water. Children are delighted to be able to pick the color of the bath. ItÂ’s a great way to teach colors, too!



A couple of final words about bath time - be sure you are using childrenÂ’s bath products. The last thing you want is a child who is already fearful of the bath getting soap or shampoo in his eyes. Plus, adult products can be drying and cause skin irritation. And, never leave baby unattended in the bath, not even for a second. The bath can be loads of fun for your child, but only if itÂ’s safe, too.
