For most households bath times are either great fun or an ordeal that has to be endured. Most children love to have a bath, in fact the tears come when it’s time to get out. Once your child grows to be a toddler having a bath is a great opportunity to have one-on-one time with you, especially if you have other children.
Even though your child can now sit up, children drown silently in very little water so never leave your child in the bath alone. Scalding is another hazard in bathrooms, so make sure the taps are turned off securely so the hot water can’t be accidentally knocked on. If possible have a thermostat installed on your hot water system or turn your existing thermostat down to fifty degrees Celsius.
Some children are afraid of the sound of water as it is sucked down the drain and this can make them fearful that they will also be pulled down into the murky pipes and lost. Wait until your child is out of the bath before you pull the plug and if they are concerned about getting in the bath, why not have baths with them until they’re more confident?
Making your toddler’s bath time fun and relaxing can help ensure that bath time at your place isn’t an ordeal.
