Baby Bath & Baby Massage

Bath time provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with your baby; however some babies take a little time before they start to enjoy having a bath. The timing of your baby's bath is up to you. Some parents like to bathe their baby in the morning, while others bathe just before bedtime as it relaxes baby and becomes part of their night-time routine in preparation for bed.
