During any given day, you’ll experience lots of magical moments with your little one … the messy-faced grin as she fingerpaints her lunch all over her high chair, the sweet giggles while he’s swinging at the park, the soft curls against her face while she naps peacefully.
But in our book, bath time is about as fun as it gets. You can take advantage of the time while baby’s getting squeaky clean to laugh, talk, and play together. Afterward, snuggle him up in a hooded towel and enjoy a precious moment of cuddle time.
But have you ever noticed that sometimes the best baby bath products are hard to find? Well, we’ve taken the guesswork out of finding your favorite bathtime products, from shampoo to toys. Check out these bathtime superstars.
