Bath time...one thing to remember

I found that bath time was always a fun time, for me it was a time to have fun, try and get some smiles, do funny things, and generally try and entertain our new baby.

I noticed that that our baby was fond of chewing on the sponge, or at least trying to put it into her mouth, which of course was no good, especially if it had soap thru it. The other problem is that with a sponge that is full of soap, it can make her eyes sting, (if you're using that kind of soap).

So what I did was to use two sponges, one for the normal washing and cleaning, and the other one I would keep close in fresh, clean water, for when she wanted use it close to her face and mouth.

Of course it soon became a little soapy, so it was a good idea to rinse it out and keep it fresh for her. I found this was an excellent way to keep her entertained and she loved the feeling of the sponge against her.

I wrote a book about my first year as a Dad. I wrote it because I couldnt find anything useful that was aimed primarily at new Dads.

My book is called 'My First Year as a Dad' You will find it at :
