My friend Dulcinea sent me an article that shows that babies who have bath time with daddy are more socially confident. Findings are based on a 14 year study.
Billy started taking over bath time after we read this article. They seems to have gotten into a nice groove now that they have done this about 3-4 times. Billy has got baby floating (with head supported by dad) in the water after watching a video about babies learning to tread water and/or swim. Now, now, don’t worry, we are not teaching will to tread water or to swim. He is simply floating with head supported.
After the exciting time baby has with dad in the bath & shower he is wide-eyed and takes in the world at full speed. Daddy-baby bath time seems to super stimulate his brain.
I love baby bath time! It’s amazing to see Will so awake and engaged with the world. Right now, it’s some of the best quality time that I spend with my son. I highly recommend it to all new dads.
