Born's Top 5 "B's" for Brilliant Bath Times!

Bathing your children is a lovely way of spending valuable quality time with each other, free from noise and distractions.  Bath time can be fun, without being overstimulating and is a lovely time for cuddles too! It's a great way for parents and children to unwind and relax, putting the day behind them and preparing for bed.

We've put together our top 5 "B's" for a fun and calming bath time ...



B is for Bubbles!

Everyone loves bubbles and a bath just isn't the same without them! Perfect for getting your baby washed without the need for scrubbing, bubbles are also the source of endless fun! Play "dress up" with funny hair, or hide and seek with toys peeping out from below the bubbles. Blow the bubbles to make it "snow" - the list goes on!

We love the Organic Baby Bubblebath from Love Soap who make beautiful hand blended organic bath products especially for children and they don't skimp on the foam! Certified by the Soil Association, this gorgeous bubblebath is made using ingredients derived from nuts, seeds, flowers and fruits and is free from sulphates and other harmful chemicals - proof that you don't need chemicals to make great bubbles!
 
Or try the Organic Bubble Bath from Earth Friendly Baby, featuring classic Organic Chamomile, relaxing Organic Lavender or funtime Organic Mandarin, all great for your baby. Lovely refreshing scents, rich foam and great cleaning all at the same time.




B is for Boats!

Bath time is perfect for setting sail on the high seas and if you've got some friends along for the ride, all the better! Green Toys dominate the dock with a tugboat complete with handle and pouring spout, a submarine with spinning propeller and a car ferry with two cars to load and unload - all their toys are made from recycled plastic milk containers so these eco-friendly vessels are safe for your little one and safe for the environment too.

For fishing fans, we've got the fantastic Fishing Boat from Ambi Toys. The masts double as two rods for a fun fishing game and the steering wheel can be used as a life ring to throw to the captain if he falls overboard. An ideal toy to support counting, colour recognition, fine motor skills, imagination and role play - stock is due in soon - watch this space..!





B is for Baby Towels!

Almost as lovely as getting into the bath is getting out again, especially if you've got a gorgeous fluffy towel to climb into!  Our range of baby towels all come with hoods and are just what you need for wrapping your baby and keeping them cosy.

The brilliant Cuddledry Bath Towel fastens with poppers around your neck, allowing you to have both hands free to lift your baby from the bath-tub. The fabric is a blend of organic unbleached cotton and natural bamboo fibre, which is soft, highly absorbent and fast drying as well as having natural antibacterial properties, making this a great towel for babies with sensitive skin.

If you're looking for a bathtime set, the Aden & Anais Towel & Washcloth set is ideal - The towel is 100% terry cotton, which is extra absorbent and durable whilst the four-layer muslin washcloth gets softer after each wash, making it extra gentle on babies delicate skin. A great practical gift that's ideal for bath time, travel time, beach time and cuddle time!






B is for Born Bundles!

Did you know that we offer great money-saving packages specifically for your baby's bath time? You can buy everything you need for bathing your little one in one go, saving you time and money. They're perfect for gifts too!

Choose the Bathtime Essential Bundle with organic shampoo & bodywash, an organically grown sea-sponge, a 100% natural rubber duck (an essential in every bath!) and a Cuddledry Bath towel.

These bundles are a brilliant way of making sure you've got everything to hand as well as trying out one or two products that you may not have thought of!





B is for... Bliss!

Bath time is not just about the children! When bathing, story and bedtime is done and your little one is (hopefully) fast asleep, it's time to look after yourself.

Relax in a warm bath and breathe in the beautiful calming scent of Weleda's Lavender Bath Milk, with it's harmonising effect that soothes body and mind, reducing tension and easing restlessness.

If you're pregnant, try the Natalia Prenatal Bath Soak. Formulated for pregnancy, this gentle bubble bath with calendula and aloe vera is soothing on skin, and the synergistic essential oil blend eases muscular tension and soothes anxiety.
