Your little one’s bath time does not have to be an anxiety-inducing screaming tussle dreaded by both you and your baby. With a bit of planning and choosing the right bathing products, bath time can become more of a fun-filled, relaxing and cherished experience for the baby as well as you!
Making sure that babies enjoy themselves during their bath time comes down to selecting fun toys, playing water games, and having story time sessions. What is most essential though, is using products that are gentle, and help in nurturing plus protecting the baby’s delicate skin. Below are few things to do to arrange a fun-filled adventure for your baby’s shower.
Crazy hair games
A game of crazy hair is like playing dress-up in the tub! There is nothing cuter on earth than a baby with a mohawk. What makes it even more exciting is the sheer fact that you can splash water at each other and might as well turn it into a friendly water splashing fight. The best part here is, when the game is over, there is absolutely no mess!
All you need is to choose a super pure organic baby soap and shampoo, preferably goodness.me’s certified organic baby head-to-toe foam wash, which is a foam-based 3-in-1 gentle cleanser that keeps your baby’s hair, face and body clean, smooth and irritation-free. Add some bath water to the tub, a mirror, and some wild imagination to create hairstyles that will keep you both engaged and laughing to bits.
Tickle their senses
Bath time could be daunting if the baby is irritated. It is important to do away with your little one's fear and boredom to let them have a good bath time. To add a little fun, bath time is actually a great time to tickle your baby’s senses.
Stroke your baby’s hands and tickle your baby's belly with soapy foam or some organic toddler shampoo. Light sensations in the body usually causes them to feel ticklish, and because babies have a strong sense of touch in the early stages of their infancy, these light sensations may not only add a tinge of healthy laughter, but also help develop their language skills to some extent.
Story Time
Little ones are really impatient or repulsive to taking baths. To make bathing less detestable and more interesting, club it with a storytelling session. Tell stories in regular episodes. You may keep it ongoing to entice your toddler to eagerly get into the bath next time to hear the next episode of the story.
No matter what a kid’s age, when parents choose to make their toddler’s bath time pleasant, adventurous, and fun, young ones are least likely to fight it. Remember never to leave your little one unattended during bath time. Irrespective of how you choose to make your baby’s bath time fun, it is always important to prioritise their safety above anything and everything else.
