Bath Time Bliss: How to Create a Cozy Bonding Routine for You + Your Baby
Whether you are a new mom or a mom of multiples, life is a balancing act—one moment, you’re making bottles with a baby on each hip, the next, you’re chasing down runaway pacifiers. But in the midst of the beautiful chaos, bath time can be more than just another item on your to-do list. It’s an opportunity to slow down, connect, and create a cozy, stress-free routine that helps your little ones feel safe and loved.
Sink Baths & Sweet Connections
Bathing a newborn can feel intimidating, but a cozy sink bath is the perfect way to ease into it—especially with our Plum + Sparrow Sink Bather. Designed for comfort and security, it cradles your baby in a soft, supportive embrace, keeping them snug and relaxed while you focus on those sweet bonding moments.
For moms of multiples, bath time requires a little extra coordination. Keep one baby nestled nearby in their Moses basket while you bathe the other, then switch. This setup allows you to focus on one-on-one moments while ensuring both babies feel cozy and cared for. Moses baskets aren’t just for sleep—they’re a perfect safe spot during bath time routines, too!
The Magic of Infant Massage
Once bath time is over, extend the relaxation with a gentle infant massage. Studies show that baby massage can help with sleep, digestion, and overall bonding, making it a perfect addition to your nightly routine. Using a baby-safe oil, try slow, gentle strokes on their tiny arms, legs, and back. It’s a soothing way to wind down the day, especially when caring for multiples who thrive on extra touch and attention.
