Most babies love bath time. When my son was a baby, bath time always brought about lots of giggles. He loved the warm water and had so much fun taking a bubble bath, playing with his bath toys, and splashing until I was soaking wet too. As much fun as bath time was, it was so much more. Bath time was a great bonding experience for us, and a chance for my baby to learn and explore the senses.
I had so much fun going through old pictures to find this one of my son in the tub. Such great bath time memories! Thanks to JOHNSON’S® and The Motherhood for working with me on this sponsored post about making bath time with baby so much more.
Bath time is such a wonderful opportunity to connect with baby. Giving our baby a bath does so much more than keeping baby clean. It’s a chance to bond with our babies while facilitating their development. Did you know that adding bubbles to your baby’s bath can help develop hand-eye coordination? It helps them discover that objects exist even when they can’t be seen, and stimulates the senses through touch and smell. Not to mention the fact that bubbles add a whole lot of fun to bath time.
Does your baby love to splash? Splash away, baby! Because it’s not only just fun… it actually teaches baby cause and effect.
Introducing bath toys is a great way to turn bath time into a mutli-sensorial playground and learning experience! When my baby boy got older, I introduced colorful foam letters to bath time. That fun time in the tub with letters was instrumental in helping him learn his ABC’s and colors.

There is some insightful information in this infographic. Did you learn something new from it?
Bath time for babies is so much more than getting clean. It’s a bonding time with Mom and Dad, and a chance for babies to use their senses to discover the world around them.
How are you making bath time with baby so much more?

February 10, 2015 at 4:38 PMI didn’t know that there were all the benefits of having a bath time with a baby. I’ll have to keep these in mind when I have children.

Sara P. (@SensiblySara) says
February 10, 2015 at 11:00 PMMy boys loved bath time. My youngest would still take a bath if he had time to sit and soak for an hour! They both enjoyed making bubble beards.

February 11, 2015 at 10:33 AMOur son is about to turn 5 and bath time is still fun for us. He’s not distracted by games or TV. He loves the warm water. We can just chat about his day and relax while he washes himself.
Amanda says
February 11, 2015 at 11:51 AMMy kids still love bathtime. It’s the perfect time to play and unwind from the day.
mburbage says
February 11, 2015 at 12:36 PMbathtime is fun time! Ha . We actaully don’t have a bathtub in the place we live in but we used too, kids always enjoyed that time
Heather says
February 11, 2015 at 12:41 PMMy kiddos still love bathtime. Sometimes it’s hard to get them in, but soon they’re crying when they have to get out.
Rosey says
February 11, 2015 at 1:01 PMMy DIL is really great about utilizing bathtime for learning time. She makes lessons for the tub that are fun, and while that makes me laugh, I do fully support the idea. Baby loves it, and she’s smart as a whip too… in part I’m sure because her mom takes such considerations to enhance her playtime by making it sneaky learn time too. 🙂
Theresa says
February 11, 2015 at 1:15 PMMy girls always loved bath time. Johnson’s was a favorite of ours. We would always use the calming bedtime body wash because it smelled sooo good!
Ashley Gill says
February 11, 2015 at 2:12 PMI should stop telling them to stop splashing! BAD MOMMA!!!! I never thought about it as a learning experience!
Paula Schuck says
February 11, 2015 at 4:16 PMWe always do a bath before bed. It gives the kids time to unwind and get relaxed for bed.

Ann Bacciaglia says
February 11, 2015 at 11:05 PMBath time was always my favorite time of the day when the kids were little. It was always fun watching them play with the bubbles.
Tonia @TheChattyMomma says
February 11, 2015 at 11:24 PMMy favorite baths were done in the sink. I have so many fun memories with my girls. They both freaked out on me during their first bath. I was a nervous wreck. We finally got the hang of it though.

February 12, 2015 at 8:48 AMJohnson’s was best for giving baths to my kids. It was drying to their skin.

Life As A Convert says
February 12, 2015 at 10:17 PMBathtime with my kids can be fun, but is usually just a “get them in and out as fast as possible” kind of deal without soaking the floor. The floor usually ends up soaked 🙂
