Bath Time Made Simple: 5 Essentials for a Relaxing Evening Routine

Creating a Calming Bath Time Routine for Your Little One

 

Featuring Our Favourite Must-Haves: Shnuggle Bath, Pebbly Thermometer, Moon Night Light, Noody Soft Suds & Noody Lotion Potion

Bath time isn’t just about getting clean it’s a special moment to slow down, connect, and soothe your baby at the end of a busy day. Whether your little one is a water baby or still learning to love the splash, having the right tools can turn bath time into a calm, enjoyable ritual for both of you.

Here’s how we create a peaceful and practical bath time routine with a few of our favourite bathtime products at Whisper & Wild:




Start with the Shnuggle Baby Bath

The award-winning Shnuggle Bath is our top pick for safe, stress-free bathing. Designed with a supportive bum bump and foam backrest, it keeps baby upright and secure making it easier for you to wash and bond. Plus, it uses only two litres of water and fits perfectly in most kitchen sinks or bathroom floors. No awkward leaning or wrestling with slippery babies!




Check the Perfect Temperature with a Bath Thermometer

Warm, but not too warm. The ideal bath temperature for babies is around 37–38°C, and a reliable bath thermometer takes the guesswork out of it. Look for one that’s quick to read and doubles as wee distraction while you are preparing the bath.




Add a pump of Noody Soft suds

Soft Suds Bath & Body Wash - the perfect gentle shampoo and wash. With no sulfates or soap, our all natural, nasty-free formulations are nude, designed especially for young ones, leaving the skin calm and clean.

 



Lock in Moisture and promote relaxation with Noody Lotion Potion

After towel drying your little one, a gentle massage with Noody Lotion Potion this helps lock in hydration and creates a soothing sensory moment. Packed with natural, nourishing ingredients and free from nasties, it’s designed for delicate baby skin and loved by parents for its non-greasy, quick-absorbing texture. 

Including a gentle massage after bath time isn’t just a soothing treat it’s backed by research as a powerful way to support your baby’s development and wellbeing.

Interaction

Massage fosters respectful, nurturing touch, helping strengthen the emotional bond between parent and baby. It also helps parents better understand their baby’s cues and body language, building confidence and connection.

Stimulation

Massage supports vital systems in your baby’s body—including circulation, digestion, immunity, and the nervous system. It promotes myelination, a key process in brain and motor development, which supports everything from crawling to learning. It’s even linked to healthy weight gain in infants.

Relief

A soothing massage can help ease common newborn discomforts like colic, wind, constipation, teething pain, and general fussiness. It’s a gentle, drug-free way to support your baby through everyday growing pains.

Relaxation

By increasing feel-good hormones (like oxytocin) and lowering stress hormones, massage can help your baby feel calmer and more settled. Regular massage has even been shown to improve sleep patterns—music to every parent’s ears.

 

 

Wind Down with Magnesium Spray

Finish your routine with a calming spritz of Noody Magnesium Spray. Known for its relaxation benefits, magnesium can support restful sleep and ease growing little muscles. Just a few sprays onto baby’s legs or feet during massage time, and you're ready for storytime, cuddles, and sweet dreams.



Why a Consistent Bath Routine Matters

Establishing a consistent routine signals to your baby that it’s time to rest. Repeating the same steps each night bath, massage, lights down create a rhythm that helps babies feel secure and relaxed as they transition to bedtime.
