Relaxing Bathtime
This Week —
A few playlists ago in Sleepy Babies Music, we talked about how music can make family life with little ones a teensy bit easier. At our house, certain music serves as cues, helping the Elf and I both with transitions and defining certain parts of our day. Bath time is a particularly important event in our evening—and while water does have a calming effect, it can also be incredibly stimulating (we’ve all lived through baby's bathtub tidal waves and flying bath toys). With this playlist, the Elf and I find the balance between fun and calm.

This playlist was designed to accompany a 30-minute bath from start to finish. You’ll hear a lot of music by Claude Debussy because he was the King of Water Music. It starts off lively and ends so soothingly you may find yourself zenned out for a few precious moments as well ;)
Make it New —
In case you need some ideas to reinvent bath time (we promise we won’t add any more squishy toys to your already colossal bath toy stash) here are a few ideas:
Color the water with a few drops of food coloring
Bring mixing bowls from your kitchen, float them in the water and have your kiddo try to throw toys into them
Freeze up some colored ice cubes to add to the water
Bring balloons into a bubble bath and watch the magic happen
Happy bathing!
