We all know that babies are dependent on tender loving care to develop a healthy attachment to their caregivers. Although bath time can be rather tedious at times, why not use bath time to create a healthy attachment and build trust while caring for your child? During bath times is one of the best time to care for your baby as there is a lot of skin-to-skin contact.

As bath time is an everyday thing, the daily bath routine provides the perfect opportunity to give some mindful care to your baby. This optimises their future health and development as well as nonverbal language.

Have heart-to-heart conversations

You may think your baby does not know what you are talking about, but you would be surprised! Talk about what you are doing, describe how you are washing your baby, what makes you happy, your feelings and so on. Speak in adult language and not baby-talk so that your baby picks up linguistic skills faster but remember to maintain eye contact, smile and speak in a rhythmical, sing-song way for your baby to respond better.

Play together

Fill the tub with bath toys and water pouring tools. Add some gentle wash and have fun! The more fun you have, the stronger the bond that is built.

Give your baby a massage

Skin-to-skin contact between you and baby is already there during bath time. The physical contact helps your baby feel safe and is important to build attachment and trust. During the bath, gently stroke and massage your baby’s arms, legs and back. The massage will soothe your baby and calm him down.

Sing songs together

A fun way to play with your baby safely in the bath is by singing songs. The songs will build language skills and musical appreciation as well as develop his hearing skills. Encourage your baby to babble along with you and splash some water around to a beat if your baby enjoys that.

Use mild washes

The gentleness associated with mild washes like the QV Baby Gentle Wash combined with the warm and cosy bathroom helps calm your baby.

Create a bath time ritual

While most bath time rituals are varied, bath time always consist of two main components, namely:

1.      Cleansing

Using baby wash is a necessary part of bath times to remove impurities left behind by diapers and clothes. Harsh soap may possibly irritate your baby’s skin, especially if your little one is prone to sensitive skin issues. Instead, use a gentle wash that helps to protect your baby’s skin barrier such as the QV Baby Gentle Wash.

2.      Moisturising

Some babies might have dry or sensitive skin so the use of a moisturising cream like the QV Baby Moisturising Cream can help ease dry skin conditions, ensuring long hydration and protection. Massaging the cream into your baby’s skin also requires skin-to-skin contact, creating bonding moments.
