Setting a Schedule for Baths
Home » Babies » Setting a Schedule for Your Baby » Setting a Schedule for BathsA bath is a good way to prepare your baby for bed. Even though he only needs to be bathed twice a week, it could be beneficial to make bath time a part of your daily routine. If you do choose to bathe your child daily, use soap sparingly and rinse it off immediately so that your baby's skin won't dry out.
Most babies love the water and having Mom wash them, but some are scared of baths. If this is the case with your child, make bath time fun by using specific toys that are reserved just for the tub. Games will help too, such as "this little piggy" when the baby's toes get wet. You can also bond with your baby by wrapping him in a towel and holding him close, or by giving him a massage. Involve Daddy as well by giving him a special job. Maybe he could put the lotion on the baby and then dress him in his pajamas. Babies will enjoy knowing that this is Daddy's special time with them.
