Making Bath Time a Breeze: Simple Tips for Parents of Babies and Toddlers

Bath time has the potential to be a peaceful, playful part of the day, but for many families, it can feel rushed, chaotic, or even dreaded. With the right setup, it doesn’t have to be.

Whether you’re managing a slippery toddler or gently bathing a newborn, these small changes can help make bath time smoother and more enjoyable for both of you.

 

Before You Start

• Lay out clothes, nappies, and towels beforehand
• Make sure the room is warm and the lighting soft
• Keep bath toys minimal and easy to clean

 

In the Bath

• Stick to a consistent time, routines help babies relax
• Keep the water shallow and test the temperature with your wrist
• Use a soothing voice and eye contact to stay connected

 

After the Bath

• Lift your baby into a towel immediately, ideally one with a hood to prevent heat loss
• Dry gently, especially between skin folds
• Give yourself a few minutes for a quiet cuddle or baby massage

 

Creating a Routine You Both Enjoy

Evening baths can help signal the end of the day and create a calming ritual. Keep it short and sweet, the goal isn’t a deep clean, but connection and comfort.

When you have the right tools, soft lighting, warm water, a cosy towel, the whole experience becomes more manageable. And, over time, it can become something you both look forward to.
