Taking a bath with your baby is an adorable, precious, lovely thing that’s not to be missed! It’s seriously one of the greatest joys and is relaxing for mama and baby. A rubdown in the sink, while cute, is not as much fun! Seriously, there’s no need for those plastic baby tubs.. Anyways! In my book, The Kind Mama, I referenced some kind potions and lotions so below are Bear and I’s favorites! This is for bath time and beyond, I added some balms we dig and products found in our medicine cabinet, check them out:
