Although it is not necessary to bathe baby every day, it does make a great time for baby and parent to spend some quality time together and to establish a good bedtime routine. It is easier to use a small baby bath which has been designed with babies and parents comfort in mind.
Children quite naturally love water and this stems from a very early age, babies will enjoy being bathed soon after the birth. Parents should be encouraged to make bath time a fun playtime, as babies can soon get bored.
Babies should be bathed at least twice a week and both mum and dad can both hold baby and play with them to help them feel reassured. As the baby grows bath time toys can be introduced to help make bath time a enjoyable experience for both child and parent.
