Bath time is often a relaxing and playful part of the day for toddlers. Your toddler will have lots of fun with plastic cups, funnels, bottles and toys that float. A few simple precautions will help keep your toddler safe too. By now, your toddler is probably a lot more active, so regular baths will help keep her clean and healthy.
Bathing your toddler 2-3 times a week is enough to keep him clean. But if your toddler gets dirty from playing, or enjoys bath time, you can bath him more often – once a day is fine. A bath at the end of the day can also be part of a relaxing and calming bedtime routine.
It’s best to avoid using soap, because soap can dry out your toddler’s skin. If needed, use a gentle non-soap cleanser.
Afraid of the bath
Some toddlers might be afraid of the bath. If this happens, take your toddler’s fears seriously, because they’re very real to her.
To help your child overcome a fear of the bath, you can try:
taking a bath with your toddler
allowing him to choose toys for the bath
letting him sit or play in the bath without water in it
getting him to leave the bathroom before you take the plug out – some toddlers are afraid of getting sucked down the plug hole
having a shower with him
letting him sit in the baby bath in the big tub (if he still fits).
