Bath Time With Baby - The Essentials

Bath Time with Baby

Most babies will enjoy their bath time, the sensation of the warm water on their skin will help to relax baby.  Some babies may not enjoy the bath straight away and that’s ok too. Babies don’t need to be bathed every day, on days where they are not getting a full bath you can simply wash their hands face and bottoms to keep them clean.

To make bath time as smooth as possible for both baby and you, it is a good idea to gather all the items you will need during bath time and put them in a place that is easy to reach. These may be bath time essentials such as baby soap, shampoo, and a flannel. Place the supplies you will need post-bath, such as baby’s dry towel, a nappy, and the clothing you are planning to dress baby in after. Wearing any watch or jewellery whilst you are bathing baby may cause scratches so it may be a good idea to remove these during bath time. When preparing a baby’s bath, it is important to test the water to ensure it is not too hot or not too cold. The Shnuggle Pebbly Thermometer will let you know when the water is the perfect temperature for baby with its simplified design. Gently shake to wake, swirl the bathwater, and drop Pebbly in.  The simple light-up display will quickly and accurately indicate whether the water is too hot, too cold, or just right. If you do not have access to a bath thermometer the best way to test the water temperature is using the inside of your wrist to make sure the water is warm to touch.

Bath time brings you and your baby closer together, providing you with some of your most cherished memories in those early days. Dimples has all the important products you need for bath time to make these memories even more special.
