I was being a good mommy yesterday and taking pictures with our actual camera and not just my iphone and got some adorable bath time shots. Which then became my inspiration for a post on the scrubba-dubba-dub-time.
Pretty much from Day 1 Day 20 we've been doing the 4 B's Bedtime routine:
Bath
Boob
Book
Bed
I do think starting a bedtime routine as early as possible is important and is key to establishing:
1) The day vs nighttime sleep in newborns
2) Learning how to self-sooth to sleep (and thus being able to STTN earlier)
Not only that but, if your like us, it's a nice moment of family time.
Here is the shots of one of our little Lyla Lou Who's very first baths. She was about 2 weeks old in this picture and oh-so-itty-bitty:
When preparing for our baby's arrival I set out to look for an alternative way to bathe our babe other then in the traditional baby bath tub. We have only one small bathroom and I just wanted to avoid have that bulky thing in the way all the time. I found {this} Puj Flyte Tub and I thought it would be a great alternative. It folded up small and we could just stash it under the sink when it wasn't in use. HOWEVER we ended up not liking it at all. Lyla's little body would slip down it and she never looked comfortable.
So after a while of fighting with this thing we finally gave into buying a baby bath (we bought this one) and we LOVE it!
Here we are, 8 months later, and still using this guy.
Some of my other bath time loves are:
1) This adorable toy holder
2) These super cute bath toys
3) This yummy bath wash
California Baby is kinda expensive.
We use our Costco size wash in the tub and save this as a little treat for when Lyla gets her post-messy-meal kitchen sink bath :)
So there you have our bath adventures.
What is your thoughts on baby bath time?
