Bath time

Untitled design (14).png

Bath time is a cozy part of our wind-down routine and helps baby ease into bedtime mode. After a full day of playing, exploring, and getting messy, it’s the perfect moment for them to relax and feel calm. A warm bath with gentle, soothing products not only gets them clean but also helps set the tone for sleep. Keeping it simple with safe, skin-friendly products makes it a comforting time for both of us.

Soap/ Shampoo

Pick a 2-in-1 formula to simplify your routine—especially in those early months—since it's gentle enough for both body and hair. Look for pH‑balanced, tear-free, fragrance-free, and EWG‑Verified® labels. That way, you’re giving baby a soothing, safe cleanse without unnecessary chemicals or fuss.

​

As a family, we use several ATTITUDE products and really trust the brand—especially when it comes to caring for our baby. For bath time, we like to use either of their 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash options, both of which are fragrance-free and EWG Verified. They’re gentle, safe, and made with clean ingredients we feel good about using on our little one’s skin.

Towels

For baby’s first year, having 3 to 4 towels is typically enough — ideally 2 to 3 hooded towels for cozy bath time and 1-2 lighter, faster-drying towel for everyday use or travel.

​

Hooded towels are great for keeping newborns warm, but they do take longer to dry, so having a mix offers both comfort and practicality.

 

Choose 100% cotton or certified organic options (GOTS or OEKO-TEX Standard 100) to ensure softness and avoid harsh chemicals on baby’s delicate skin.

Bathtub

When choosing a baby bathtub, look for one that’s safe, supportive, and easy to clean. For newborns up to 6 months, a contoured support like the Angelcare Baby Bath Support is a great option—it cradles baby securely without needing to fill a whole tub.

 

If you want something that grows with your child, the Stokke Flexi Bath is a smart pick—it folds flat for storage and can be used from birth (with an insert) through toddlerhood.

 

Prioritize tubs that are BPA- and phthalate-free, non-slip, and quick-drying to keep bath time safe and low-stress.

Baby lotion is typically used right after bath time to lock in moisture and keep your little one’s skin soft and hydrated. It’s also a lovely moment to connect—many parents use this time for a gentle baby massage, which can help relax baby and support bonding.

 

Choose a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic lotion made with clean, non-toxic ingredients, especially if your baby has sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
