Why
Babies Love Bath Time
What to Expect
Hi Readers,
Welcome back
to my blog! I hope everyone is having an amazing Friday. Today I want to talk
about the reality of bath time. Let’s be honest bathing your baby is probably
one of the most exciting and nerve racking things to do. This is because they
are constantly moving around and you have to hold them the entire time while
using the other hand to wash. It can be a bit tricky if you don’t have all your
items you need next to you. The reality is that all babies are different. Some
babies love the water while others hate it. So I’m sharing this post to help
the new mommies understand what to expect.
Sing While You Soap. For
a baby, the simple act of bathing is a big sensory experience. Add a song and
some silly (or soothing) sounds and you've got yourself a bath time hit. Don't
be shy, unleash your inner songstress and sing a mashup of made-for-the-tub tunes.
Your baby will love it (even if you're totally off-key), and you'll expand her
music and language skills.
Tickle
his/her Senses. Bath time is a great opportunity to tickle your little one's
senses. Your baby will get a kick out of touching different textures like a
bath sponge, a wet washcloth, a dry towel and shaving cream. When he/she is
able to grasp large objects you can hand
him/or her different sized sponges and washcloths for her to play with. This
will keep your baby busy and enjoying bath time.
Break
Out The Toys. There are so many bath time toys that it'll be
easy to find ones your baby will like. The best ones add to bath time fun by
building a baby's skills. Rubber ducks and other water-loving creatures
encourage imaginary play; plastic cups and sieves teach your child about
filling and pouring; and letters and numbers that stick to tub tiles introduce
her to ABCs and 123s. The earlier you start the better it will be for your baby
when he/or she gets older.
He/or
She will be ready for Bed. Putting your baby to sleep right after his/or her
bath is probably the best kept secret to motherhood. Babies tend to get sleepy
after a warm bath and putting them to bed is a lot easier. Make sure you feed
him and change his diaper once before bath time so when he/she gets out its
lights out.
The
point is to make bath time fun for not just the baby but for you too! Overtime
you will be a pro at this! I’m still learning too.
I hope you enjoyed reading and these
tips help you for your next bath time with your baby.
Xoxo,
Angie
