Bath time = fun time! Absolutely. But, let's keep it safe. Babies and young children should never be left unattended in the bath, even for a minute. Here's how to keep it safe:

• Gather all the supplies ahead of time
• Allow only 2 to 4 inches of water for babies
• Line bathtub with rubber mat to avoid slips
• Keep your child sitting
• Install faucet covers
• Set water heater to 120 degrees F
• Run bath ahead of time: Your baby can be scalded if running water changes temperature quickly.
