What Are the Best Bath Time Products for a Fun and Tear-Free Experience for Babies & Kids?

by The Nattybox Team in Blog

Bath time can be one of the most enjoyable moments of the day for babies (and toddlers)! However, it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, especially for new parents. Here’s how to make bath time stress-free and fun!

Create a Soothing Atmosphere

A calm environment can make all the difference. Ensure the room is warm enough to keep your baby comfortable, and have everything you need within arm’s reach to avoid any interruptions.

Follow a Gentle and Relaxing Routine

Baby’s skin is sensitive, so it’s vital to ensure the bathwater is the right temperature. The Ideal bath temperature for little ones is between 36.5°C and 38°C. The Munchkin White Hot ® Safety Bath Duck (€7.70) warns you when the bathwater is too hot for your baby’s delicate skin. Simply place the duck in the water and check the bottom, if it says "HOT" it’s time to adjust the temperature. Plus, it floats and makes a great bath toy for babies aged 0+ months!

Tip: Keep Bath Short and Sweet 5-10 minutes is plenty of time for babies to avoid getting cold.

Choose Gentle, Baby-Safe Products

Always remember to use products directed for babies, in order to prevent irritations and to keep their skin healthy. Choose baby washes and shampoos that are gentle, free from unnecessary ingredients, and appropriate for your baby’s skin. Look for soap-free, fragrance-free, and tear-free formulas based on your baby’s individual needs.

Our Top Picks:

Mustela Foam Stelatopia Shampoo for Newborns: Ideal for preventing cradle cap and gently cleansing the scalp for very dry skin.
Mustela Soothing Cleansing Gel: An unscented and tear-free formula that cleans without drying out your baby’s delicate skin. Gentle enough to use on newborns, cleaning while also protecting your baby’s skin.

Make Bath Time Fun with Engaging Toys

Once your baby is old enough, you can add a safe bath toy. Interactive and colourful bath toys can transform your baby’s experience. Make sure to check the recommended age for any toy you choose. You can explore the Munchkin Collection here!

Tip: Sing to your baby to give comfort and reassurance.

Keep Your Baby Warm and Moisturized

After bathing, wrap your baby in a soft hooded towel to keep warm and snuggly. Afterwards, moisturise baby’s skin with a gentle lotion to lock in moisture or alternately, follow up with a baby massage. You can try Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Nourishing Baby Oil 147ml for €18,99.

Tip: Baby’s skin is delicate. It’s important to use a gentle baby detergent that is dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin when washing your little one’s clothes. You can try Officina’s Naturae Baby Liquid Laundry Detergent 500ml for €5,90, which is delicately scented with organic lavender essential oil.

It’s about making informed choices that contribute to a safer, healthier home. Easy Non-Toxic Swaps for Everyday Products · Kids’ Shampoo and Body Wash: Avoid synthetic fragrances, parabens, and harsh chemicals. Try Mustela Certified Organic Hair & Body Cleansing Gel (400ml). · Kids’ Body Lotion: Choose fragrance-free and gentle formulas like Mustela Certified Organic Face & Body Hydrating Cream (150ml). · Kids’ toothpaste: Look for fluoride-free options with no dyes, SLS/SLES and no potentially harmful ingredients if swallowed.

Hand Care 101: Your Guide to Soft & Hydrated Hands

At NATTYBOX, we believe in the importance of self-care, and that includes taking care of our hands. Your Hands Need a Skincare Routine too Our hands are different from the rest of our body. They tend to be drier than our faces because they have fewer sebaceous glands. The skin is thinner and more prone to dehydration compared to the rest of the body. It is constantly exposed to environmental aggressors such as the sun, wind, harsh cold, pollution, as well as regular washing, and exposure to household products, which can strip away natural oils, leaving hands dry. Here are some simple hand care tips to keep your hands looking and feeling soft, hydrated, and youthful. Use Gentle Hand Soaps Harsh chemicals in some hand soaps can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Choose mild, hydrating hand soaps that won’t strip away moisture or leave hands feeling dry after washing. Always look for products free of parabens, and pat your hands dry with a soft towel, avoiding harsh rubbing. Tip: Always wash your hands with lukewarm water instead of hot water. Hot water can compromise the skin barrier, making hands dry. For an extra boost of moisture, apply your hand cream while your hands are still slightly damp. Our Top Picks: Faith in Nature Lavender & Geranium Hand Wash: Specially formulated with organic oat extract, lime flower and elderberry, to soothe and nourish the skin while gently and effectively cleansing. Baylis & Harding Goodness Lemongrass & Ginger Handwash: Made with mild, gentle, plant-based cleansers. A luxury hand wash containing organic extracts and essential oils, each with unique wellbeing benefits. Moisturize Regularly A good hand cream helps lock in moisture, keeping your skin soft and hydrated. Look for products with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E or Aloe Vera. Make moisturizing a part of your daily routine, especially after every hand wash. Don’t forget to massage your wrists, knuckles, and cuticles! Implementing a hand care routine before bed can greatly improve the condition of your skin. In the evening, apply a rich, nourishing hand cream to work overnight, so you wake up to soft, supple hands. Try the Burt's Bees Advanced Care Hand Cream for very dry, chapped skin. To complete your nighttime routine why not try the Medicube Innovative Overnight Collagen Gel Mask? Tip: Keep a small hand cream in your bag or by your desk for easy access throughout the day. Try the Burt's Bees Orange Blossom & Pistachio Hand Cream, a luxurious hand cream that nourishes dry hands leaving skin gorgeously soft all day with Shea Butter and none of the nasties, Plus, it smells delicious! Our Favorite: Nuxe REVE DE MIEL Hand and Nail Cream: Nourishes, repairs and protects hands from external aggressors. It has a silky texture with a sweet honey scent and no oily residue. Use Gloves Protect your hands during household chores, dishwashing, prolonged water exposure, contact with harsh cleaning detergents, cooking, gardening, and more. To prevent dryness, chapping, small wounds, nail breakage, and skin discoloration, make it a daily habit to wear rubber gloves. Tip: Apply hand cream before wearing gloves for extra hydration and super-soft hands. Hydrate from Within While moisturizing externally is essential, staying hydrated internally is just as crucial for healthy skin. Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and other hydrating beverages throughout the day to help keep your skin hydrated from within. Water helps maintain skin elasticity, preventing dryness and cracking. Looking for more hand care inspiration? Why not also try The Aromatherapy Co. Range? Explore The Aromatherapy Co.
