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.

How are you making bath time with baby so much more?
My kids are still pretty young, but I do enjoy watching them splash and play in a big ole’ bubble bath!
My kids used to love bath times when they were little. they are 13 and 17 now. They don’t even let me see then naked now. Lol
The best baby photos are always in a tub! My parents took plenty when I was younger too!
Our 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.
My kids still love bathtime. It’s the perfect time to play and unwind from the day.
bathtime 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
My kiddos still love bathtime. Sometimes it’s hard to get them in, but soon they’re crying when they have to get out.
My 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. 🙂
My 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!
I should stop telling them to stop splashing! BAD MOMMA!!!! I never thought about it as a learning experience!
