A bubble bath could make bath time a lot of fun for my toddler. Is this a safe option to help my child stay clean?

Bath time is a great opportunity for parents and kids to bond while playing and splashing around in water, all while getting clean! Bubbles can add another layer of fun to bath time but there are important facts parents need to know:
• Children under three years old should avoid bubble baths due to the potential risks of skin irritation, urinary tract infections and allergic reactions.
• Many bubble bath products (and other foaming soaps) contain detergents that can strip the skin of its natural oils, drying out the skin versus moisturizing the skin.
• The fragrances and other chemicals sometimes found in bubble bath products can irritate young, sensitive skin.
• Read product labels and look for natural oils, lavender and chamomile. Avoid parabens, sulfates and artificial dyes.
• Look for keywords “hypoallergenic” and “dermatologist-tested.”

Don’t forget to follow these bath time safety tips:
• Keep water temperature lukewarm (98-100 degrees F and test water with a thermometer).
• Limit the amount of time spent in the bathtub to help prevent dry or irritated skin.
• Supervise your child in the bath every second. Even a few inches of water can be dangerous for a small child.
