SPLISH SPLASH!

BATHTIME FOR BUB CAN BE SO MUCH MORE THAN A CHANCE TO GET CLEAN!

Having a bath is a fantastic way for your little one to discover new things and to work on new skills. “Babies and young children learn through sensory play, which is great when experienced through water,” says Pip Wynn Owen, a midwife and parent educator. “Water play helps bub to strengthen connections in the nervous system critical for brain development.”

ALL TOGETHER NOW

Getting into the tub with your baby can be a lovely chance to have together time and to bond through gentle skin-to-skin contact and splish-splashing around. It’s great to get dad involved too.
