Bathtime Memory Making

Bath time with Xander has turned into such a special time for us to bond. He is the only baby of mine who seems to actually love being in the bathtub, from such a young age. I take it as an opportunity to slow down and really soak him in. The bubbles engulfing his chunky little body make my heart smile, and I love that he’s started to splash and play.

As a mama of two daughters with eczema, I know how important it is to use products with ingredients that are specifically formulated for sensitive skin, like Aveeno® Baby Daily Care Wash & Shampoo with Natural Oat Extract and Aveeno® Baby Daily Moisture Lotion from BJ’S. With three babies in tow, I try not to make a ton of extra trips to the store. That is why I love that Mark and I can make a trip to BJ’S and buy all of our essentials in larger quantities.

They even have order pickup! I can put in an order for everything we need, from my phone, and it’s ready for us when we get there; then we fill up on gas while we are there. Saves so much time, and keeps us on budget. It is nice to snag our baby essentials, and not have to worry about running out any time soon. Head to BJ’s, or your local retailer, today, to snag your Aveeno essentials today.

Sidenote: Shop now, or save $2.00 off any ONE (1) Aveeno® Baby Product (excluding trial & travel sizes and gift sets) starting 10/18. Also worth noting, Aveeno® Baby products have a great new look so your packaging may slightly vary from what you see in stores!

The Aveeno® Baby Daily Care Wash & Shampoo with Natural Oat Extract helps me cleanse without drying out his skin. So we can take our time in the bath, chatting and splashing, without the worry that his bath will dry out his sweet delicate skin. Both products are hypoallergenic and gentle enough for me to use on Xander every day.

I remember with Raegan and Zarie, I would use our bath time routine as an opportunity to narrate their body parts to them, so they could learn them. Legs….knees…ankles….toes. It has been  so cool to see them grow, and start to say the names themselves. I have been doing the same routine with baby Xander! I love making memories in the seemingly routine parts of life. That’s the good stuff we end up remembering…the little chats during bath time, and the first words that result.

Xander is a huge fan of having his little feet and toes massaged, and I like to use the Aveeno® Baby Daily Moisture Lotion to give him a good rub down after his bath, and before bed. I love that it uses soothing natural colloidal oatmeal. As a skin protectant active ingredient, oatmeal can help restore skin’s normal pH and aid in the maintenance of skin’s moisture barrier to help prevent and protect dry skin.

I want to make sure his skin is moisturized, especially with a heavier wardrobe and cooler months approaching. I am sure he will continue being his smiley little self during our little bath time bonding sessions. Love my sweet boy.
