Soothing bath time activity

Bath time for young babies can be stressful while baby gets use to being undressed and put into warm water. You can make bath time simple and fun for mum and baby with these easy bath time activities.

What you need:

• Baby bath
• Towel
• Fresh change of clothes
• Nappy
• Lotion

Activity:

While undressing your baby, bring your head 20-25cm away from his face so he can focus on your eyes and be soothed by your face.

Talk to your baby while he is in the bath, as your voice is soothing and calm, it will make your baby feel secure while he is in the water.

While he’s in the bath, let your baby kick his legs and stretch them out, so that he enjoys the water and learns to play with it.
