Another fear as a parent- BATH TIME BATTLES😱

Once a baby can move, they sometimes rebel against bath time. There might be screaming and running away as soon as they hear the water.

They might thrash and fight the shampooing and washing. This may leave you both in tears, not to mention that it can get pretty messy.

Here are some things you can start doing NOW to prevent the bath time battles.

➡️Use the same space or set up the space in a similar way each time so they understand what is happening and are prepared.
➡️Make sure the bath tub or supporting device you use is the right size and comfortable for your baby.
➡️Make sure the water is always a good temperature.
➡️Use cleaning products with a natural scent that might be relaxing.
➡️Always be gentle and avoid getting soap and water in the eyes, nose, mouth.
➡️Provide toys.
➡️Provide massage or gentle touch.
➡️Smile at your baby.
➡️Give kisses if they like them.
➡️Give tickles if they like them.
➡️Make funny faces.
➡️Sing.
➡️Slow down. No need to rush. Take your time and enjoy this opportunity to focus on and nurture your baby. Bath time can be bonding time.
➡️Be flexible. Not all babies need baths every day. It's ok to skip a day or wait until your baby is in a good mood to do the bath. Once you set up negative associations with bath time, it can be hard for your baby to shake them.
➡️If you feel a lot of stress about bath time, your partner might be a better option that day or in general. It's best to have a caregiver who is relaxed and enjoys bath time. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

🛁The point is to make bath time fun and sweet so your baby actually looks forward to it instead of fighting it. Follow to stay up to date on the latest parenting tips!

🛁 Baby bath time basics!
Here are the top 3 essentials every new parent needs to know:

1. Safety First: Always make sure the water temperature is warm, but not hot—around 100°F (38°C) is just right! Test it with your wrist or elbow to be sure it’s perfect for baby’s delicate skin.

2. Gentle Cleansers: Baby’s skin is super sensitive, so stick to fragrance-free, mild baby soaps and shampoos to avoid irritation. Less is more when it comes to products!

3. Soft and Snuggly: Wrap your baby in a cozy towel immediately after the bath to keep them warm. Make sure it's soft and absorbent to protect their skin.

We’re talking about changes in your vaginal area, like color, increased discharge, and even some swelling. It’s all part of your body working hard to keep both you and your baby safe!

Your vaginal microbiome also plays a huge role in protecting you during pregnancy. Keep it balanced by avoiding harsh products and douching, and sticking to good hygiene and nutrition practices.
