B’s first bath
B had her very first bath last week. Yes very first. As in, not even a bath at the hospital (finally, a hospital that respected my wishes). Even then, her very first bath was more of a soaking. She just sort of hung out in some warm water for a bit to try to relax and check it out. She did relax and really enjoyed her first “tubby” just like her big sisters did.
When the time comes that we are ready to use a little product on her skin and head, we will be using the Oh My DeVita Baby line.
They are all-natural, 100% paraben free, PETA Certified, and vegan cosmeceutical skin care made just for babies. We were sent the Bubbly Babies Shampoo & Body Wash, $9.95: A 2-in-1 moisturizing body wash and shampoo both in fragrance-free and calming calendula-scented varieties. Both were very gentle on E’s skin and hair, so we feel okay using them on little. B.
Oh My DeVita Baby is launching this Sunday, January 19th in select Target stores, is now available on Drugstore.com.
The line also includes, Hey Sunshine Solar Protection, Flutterby Baby Brulee Lotion, Bubbly Babies Shampoo & Body Wash, Powder Puff Baby Powder and Butter Cheeks Baby Balm.
SweetPea had to warm up to baths. No pun intended. What was your decision on why you wanted to delay the first bath? Just curious.
The short answer is to leave the Vernix intact. It’s good for their skin and their bodies to leave it on instead of washing it off. If you read the hynobirthing book, it is discussed there more in detail:)
My little ones love the bath! This time around we’ve done a lot more mommy and baby baths; so relaxing for both of us. When Rosalie got the flu at just a few months old, baths were the only thing that could calm her down. A lot of it was just the sound of the rushing water. It was instantaneous. Love that you found a hospital that didn’t bathe her.
As long as Im fast enough where they dont get to cold they enjoy it.
Ooooh I Love that little muffin. Give her some sweet kisses for me!!
My grandsons really enjoy bath time and find it to be very soothing.
This sounds like a great product line for little ones.
My 6 week old used to dislike taking a bath. but he’s slowly getting used to it.
My daughter and I gave her new baby her third bath today. She liked it better than her first two.
my little one loves bath
At first my kids hated being in the bath. I think it was the temperature changes that bugged them. Now they love baths and I find them crawling into the bathtub just because.
Now that she is about 3 months old she is starting to really like her bath.
Look at that red hair….. I didn’t think anyone could be as cute as your other girls but I was wrong. You just have the recipe for making darling girls down pat! Have a great week. You are often in my thoughts. Hugs, Lura
So cute! Looks like she really enjoys the water. 🙂
I have always put the kids into water early and often. So they wouldn’t be afraid or nervous.
my daughter liked bath time!
My little one loves the bath – he loves to splash the water and make a big, wet mess!
Both of my children love bath time! I do too – cause I get a break. Ha!
BEAUTIFUL
My kids love to take a bath. They could live in water and they would be happy.
