A Better Bath Time with Baby Dove

Kate LOVES a good bath. I find that bath time is essential to our nighttime routine, especially on nights when she gets a little worked up before bedtime. Skincare is so important to me and I’m always looking for the best ways to ensure that my own skin stays healthy and glowing. I’m the exact same way, possibly even more concerned, when it comes to what I put on Kate’s perfect, soft baby skin. I’m so excited because today, I’ve teamed up with Baby Dove to tell you all about the very best products for your little one’s bath time!

Growing up, my mom always stressed to me the importance of taking care of your skin. One of the things I learned very early on, is that Dove is a WINNER when it comes to skin care. I washed my face with the bars and my body with the body wash. Even my sister, who had extremely sensitive skin, was able to use Dove with no problems.

So, when it came to choosing which soap I would be using for my daughter’s precious, soft skin, Baby Dove’s Sensitive Moisture Tip to Toe Wash was at the top of my list. I’ve tried several different baby washes and it’s safe to say that this one is my favorite (spoiler: I knew it would be)! I think it’s Kate’s favorite too.

It leaves her skin completely nourished and just as soft as the day she was born! We’re prone to dry, sensitive skin in my family and my hope is that Kate won’t inherit that trait, but I refuse to take any chances. I love that the nutrients contained in the wash are 100 percent skin-natural, making them ultra-gentle for new baby skin. That way, I know we’re not adding unnecessary stuff that could cause harm or dry out her skin. It’s also fragrance free. I’ve always found that fragrances tend to irritate my sensitive skin. Plus, who would want to mask that perfect natural baby smell!!

Of course, it’s tear-free and lathers just the right amount. Kate is entranced by the suds, and I can always tell where I’ve washed and if I’ve missed a spot!

After a good cleanse, it’s super important to moisturize baby’s skin to replace any moisture that was lost while bathing. Baby Dove’s Sensitive Moisture Baby Lotion keeps her skin soft and moisturized all day long. Again, no harmful substances and fragrance-free! When I use these products on Kate, I feel so reassured knowing that they were made with the safety and health of my baby girl in mind.

I’ve also been using them on myself (I mean, they’re already right there in my shower) and I LOVE the way my skin feels as well. Some body washes can make you feel like you NEED to moisturize as soon as you get out of the shower. With Baby Dove, the moisturizer is just the icing on the cake. Even after I immediately get out of the shower, I can feel the difference in my skin (I’m being 100% honest, here – I’m obsessed). Who said you can’t use baby product on yourself. I’d never use something on Kate that I wouldn’t use on myself.

Being confident in the product that I’m using allows me to make bath time a fun experience for both of us. We’re learning how to splash and she’s finally getting to where she enjoys toys! She’ll stay in the bath for a while if I let her. My trick is to wet a warm rag and put it on her belly. I think it keeps her warm even though she isn’t completely submerged in the water.

I look forward to the days of rubber duckies and toy boats (or mermaids, maybe) when she can sit up and really enjoy herself. But for now, I’m relishing in those sweet lazy bath time moments with my little girl. I know, no matter what, we will continue to use Baby Dove products for years to come. Their knowledge and expertise when it comes to baby skin keeps my mind at ease and my baby’s skin well nourished!
