Soon my husband and I (and two sons) will be welcoming our third child into the family. \u00a0It’s funny to think back to the days when we welcomed our oldest son, Kyle. \u00a0As first time parents we were both oblivious to the change that awaited us. We didn’t really have any worries or fears, we just couldn’t wait to meet our little guy. \u00a0Quickly, we realized that having a newborn wouldn’t be as easy as we had imagined. \u00a0It’s funny to think that the thing we were most afraid of when we brought Kyle home was giving him a bath. Luckily, my mom was over and she did it for us. Overtime we got more and more comfortable and it became a fun daily routine instead of a dreaded “must-do.” \u00a0Once we figured out how to hold him properly, how to wash him without getting water and soap all over his face \/ eyes and \u00a0how to heat up the water to proper temperature without using a thermometer, it’s safe to say giving a bath is the least of our concerns as we welcome baby #3.<\/p>\n

However, if you’re a newbie parent, here’s some great tips from our friends at Disney Baby on how to protect and pamper your little one in
\nthe tub, and some adorable products to help you to do it! From towels and toys to cleansers and creams,
Disney Baby<\/a> has you covered.<\/p>\n

Baby Bathing Tips<\/h1>\n

Tip #1: Start small<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your baby is little, so his bathtub should be too! When you start bathing a baby, it\u2019s easier to do it in the sink, or using a small plastic tub. That way, you won\u2019t have to kneel or lean awkwardly over the side of a big bath while keeping your baby upright. Some baby tubs, like this adorable Winnie the Pooh<\/strong><\/a> one, feature built-in toys, ensuring that bath time is fun for everyone!<\/p>\n

Tip #2: Get some tub toys<\/strong><\/p>\n

For older babies, the bath can be a great place to learn and explore. Once your little one has graduated to a big tub, introduce them to some squirt toys, fun floaties or sponges. Disney Baby<\/strong><\/a> has a great selection of these, featuring characters like Nemo and Friends<\/strong><\/a>. Toys can keep your baby distracted and happy, helping make bath time a breeze.<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Ditch the daily dips<\/strong><\/p>\n

Babies don\u2019t need to bathe everyday \u2013 in fact, daily baths can dry out or damage your little one\u2019s skin. It only takes two or three baths a week to ensure that baby stays squeaky-clean, as long as you stay vigilant about keeping face, hands and diaper area clean between washes. These Finding Nemo washcloths<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>are the perfect way to keep baby fresh between bath times.<\/p>\n

Tip #4: Lock in that moisture<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your baby does have dry skin, rub on a little moisturizing lotion, cream or oil post bath. There are plenty of products out there that both you and your baby can use!<\/p>\n

Tip #5: Keep baby warm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wet babies can become easily chilled, so throughout bath time it\u2019s important to keep your little one warm. Ensure that bath water is around 37 degrees and that the air in the bathroom is comfortably warm as well. After the bath, wrap baby up in a soft, clean towel and give him a little snuggle! A Winnie the Pooh Bathtime Wrap<\/strong><\/a> keeps baby feeling cozy and looking cute.<\/p>\n
