Did you know that drowning is the leading cause for unintentional injury and deaths of children age 4 and younger? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children 4 and under always have a parent or caregiver present when they are near water, including the tub.

 

As part of National Bath Safety Awareness Month, we wanted to to put a spotlight on safe bath-time practices to keep your little ones happy and healthy. Read on for some helpful tips and enter to win a special green sprouts Bath Time Bundle giveaway!

 

Bath Time Safety Tips

 

* NEVER leave your child unattended, even for a minute. Accidents can happen in a flash, and babies can drown in less than an inch of water. If you need to leave for any reason, bundle your little one up and take them with you.

 

* Establish a comfortable room temperature so your little one doesn’t get chilled, and always test the water before you put your baby in the tub.

 

* Don’t put your baby in the tub with the water running, as the temperature can change, and you don’t want the water level to get too high. Two to four inches of bathing water is recommended.

 

* Keep at least one hand on your baby, and have all your supplies within easy reach–towels, toys, baby-friendly soap, etc.

 

* Use a non-slip bath mat so that your little one stays put as they are being bathed.

 

* Make bath time fun! Stacking Cup Sets, Organic Splash Toys, and Bath Puppets that double as mitts will keep your little one entertained while you get down to business.

 

* When bath time is over, bundle your little one up in a soft organic Hooded Towel and gently dry them off so you can be ready for your next adventure!

    Those stacking cups have been a favorite here for almost a year. I would love to have the rest!

  15. Shakeeta W says:

    My tip to get through bathtime with a baby who may not like it is to teach them how to splash. Yes, it’ll be messy but while they’re busy splashing, they won’t pay attention to the fact that you’re bathing them :)

  16. cat burnett says:

    When I’m in the bath,
    I like to play for hours -
    Splashing water on the floor,
    Building big foam towers.

  23. Teresa says:

    I love bath time with my two boys! These products are great for playtime!

  24. Lindsay Bartleson says:

    Bathtime bathtime,
    baby Magnus loves bathtime,
    shampoo soap and wash cloth.
    Little stinky butt
    and dirty little face
    so now it is his bathtime.
    After playtime he is stinky,
    chubby little rolls
    smell like toxic waste,
    and he needs to have a bathtime!

  25. Lauren Humiston says:

    Beautiful products. Favorite story is of my nieces: the little one pooped in the water. I’ve never seen the older one move so fast to get out! I can’t wait to enjoy bath time with my baby on the way.

  26. Kimmie says:

    What a cute giveaway!

  27. Tonya says:

    Citrus Lane introduced me to your products. Thanks for the giveaway! :)

  28. Jenn S says:

    we have one of the bath puppets you guys make, and my son LOVES it!

  29. Samantha Simpson says:

    One tip I have is if you have much older children, they can enjoy play time with baby in the bath. My ten year old son really helps me out with a little bath time play and watching my one year old in the tub, then I will quickly come in and soap the baby up, rinse and take him, so my older son can finish up alone. It saves me time and I get to have a few minutes to do something else like pick up toys, take out trash, etc. The boys love their bath time play together.

  30. Yvette says:

    My little guy loves your stacking bath cups!

  31. Rochel S says:

  33. Sally Schatte says:

    I found iplay thru a coupon in my Pampers purchase. I didn’t know of a vendor who sold anything near me, so I decided to look on the website on the coupon….and very grateful I did!!! So much great stuff here from all natural/organic benefits to things a new momma shouldn’t go without! This was the first time I’ve ever seen the water bottle adapter for on the go, and I ordered two. Absolutely love it! Cuts down on the baby bag packing! Just ordered some bibs too, and anxiously awaiting their arrival!!!
