After nursery, little C often comes home covered in paint, food, and everything in between. Bath time has become an essential part of winding down, a chance to calm the day’s mess and reconnect. Here is how we manage the routine – practical ways to make bath time effective and stress-free.
Bathing with a little help from Ikea
The Crocodile Bath Mat from Ikea has become indispensable. At £6, it is practical, safe, and fits our bath perfectly. Its lime green colour adds brightness, and the suction cups keep it firmly in place when C stands or moves around. It is a small detail, but one that makes a significant difference to safety and ease.
Good Bubble: gentle and effective
Good Bubble bubble bath has become a favourite. Dermatologically tested, allergen-free, and endorsed by The Vegan Society and Cruelty-Free International, it keeps C’s skin soft without irritation. The gentle formula allows bath time to remain calm, and C enjoys the sensory experience of bubbles without tears or stress.
The benefits of superfruit bath time
Some Good Bubble products include ingredients such as dragon fruit and cloudberry, rich in antioxidants and vitamins. While little C may not remember the history, it is reassuring to know that the products contain natural ingredients that offer extra care.
Simple safety and engagement
Munchkin’s White Hot Safety Bath Ducky helps check water temperature while keeping C engaged. Combined with floating toys such as Nuby stackable boats and foam numbers, bath time becomes both safe and interactive, supporting learning and coordination in a relaxed environment.
