Bath Time Fun and Safety

Bath time seems to be a love it or hate it for babies and preschoolers. If your little one likes the water than you are excited about giving them one at the end of the day. If you have a little one that is scared you may be more hesitant about bath time. While making bath time fun for your little ones, you also want to be mindful about keeping them safe. When getting your bath ready always make sure you have all your supplies so you don't have to leave the child unattended.

Here are some helpful tips on keeping them safe

• Be sure to have all your supplies gathered 
• Do not let another child supervise your baby. Children get distracted easily and do not have the skills to react in a emergency.
• If you have to leave the bathroom, wrap your child in a towel and take him with you.
• Make sure you check the temperature, 120 degrees or less
• Place a rubber mat in the tub to make it less slippery
