Tiny Toes, Big Love: My Calming Baby Bath Routine with Baby Jergens

Okay you guys, I have to talk about something that's just making my heart feel so full lately. If you've been around here for even five minutes, you know how much I love my girls, and how much I love finding little ways to make our daily routines feel special. And you also probably know that I'm a creature of habit, especially when it comes to brands I trust. So when I tell you about this, I hope you understand why I'm freakin out a little bit in the best way possible. We're talking about baby baths, calming moments, and a brand that's basically been in my family forever: Jergens.

I mean, seriously, who *hasn't* used Jergens? My mom used it, I used it growing up, it's just one of those staples that's always been in our bathroom. It's like a comfort thing, you know? So when I found out they launched a Baby Jergens line? I just knew I had to try it for our sweet baby Cherry. And let me tell you, it's everything I hoped for and more. It's available at Target too, which is just the cherry on top bc who doesn't love a good Target run?

A Full Circle Moment: From My Bathtub to Cherry's

It’s kinda wild to think about, but I’ve been using Jergens products my whole life. Like, literally since I was a little girl. I remember the smell of my mom’s lotion, and then using it myself as I got older. It’s just always been there. And now, to be able to use a brand that feels so familiar and trusted on my own tiny baby? It’s such a full circle moment for me. It’s like passing down a little piece of comfort and care through generations, and that just hits different as a mom. I love that I can share something so simple, yet so meaningful, with Cherry. It’s not just a product; it’s a connection to my own childhood and a way to create new, cherished memories with her. Tanner thinks I’m being dramatic but idc, it’s true! hahah.

The Magic of Baby Bath Time (and how it's not always magical, ngl)

Okay, let's be real for a second. While I love the *idea* of a perfectly serene baby bath time, sometimes it's chaos, right? Sometimes someone's crying, sometimes the water is too cold or too hot, sometimes Stella and Ozzy are trying to 'help' and splashing water everywhere. It's not always the picture-perfect scene you see in commercials, and that's totally okay! Ngl, there are days I just want to get it done. But even on those days, there's something so sweet and intimate about bathing your baby. It's a moment of pure focus, of gentle touches, of seeing their tiny bodies all warm and clean. It’s a chance to slow down, even if just for a few minutes, and just soak in the baby goodness. And with Cherry, these moments are just extra special bc she's our last baby, so I'm trying to savor every single second. I freakin love watching her little toes splash and her eyes get wide when the water touches her skin. It's heaven on earth fr.

My Go-To Baby Jergens Duo: Calming Head to Toe Liquid Wash & Calming Lotion

So, let's get into the good stuff. The two products from the new Baby Jergens line that I'm absolutely loving for Cherry's bath routine are the Calming Head to Toe Liquid Wash and the Calming Lotion. And let me tell you, they live up to their name. They are seriously calming.

The Calming Head to Toe Liquid Wash

This wash is just perfect. It's super gentle, which is obviously the most important thing for baby's delicate skin. It lathers up just enough to feel like it's actually cleaning without being overly bubbly or harsh. And the smell? Oh my gosh, it's so subtle and soothing. It's not overpowering at all, just a really soft, clean, calming scent that makes you want to snuggle your baby even more. I love that it’s head to toe too, bc it means I don’t have to grab a million different bottles. One and done, which is perfect when you’re trying to wrangle a slippery baby! It rinses off easily too, leaving her skin feeling soft and not stripped. That's a big one for me, bc I h8 that feeling of dry skin after a bath, and I definitely don't want that for my little one.

The Calming Lotion

After her bath, it's all about the lotion. And this Baby Jergens Calming Lotion is just *chef's kiss*. It's rich enough to feel like it's really moisturizing her skin, but it absorbs beautifully without leaving any greasy residue. Nobody wants a sticky baby, am I right? hahah. The scent is the same lovely, gentle scent as the wash, so it just layers perfectly and keeps that calming vibe going. I love taking a few extra minutes to really massage it into her skin, especially her little arms and legs and those adorable baby rolls. It’s another moment for connection, for gentle touch, and for just admiring how perfect she is. It’s a little ritual that helps wind her down for bedtime, and honestly, it helps me wind down too. It’s like a little spa moment for both of us, even if it’s only 5 minutes. I couldn't imagine not having this step now, it's just part of our routine.

Why I Love Sharing These Moments

You know, as a mom of three, life is busy. Like, really, really busy. There are always a million things to do, and sometimes it feels like you're just moving from one task to the next. But these little moments, like bath time with Cherry, are the ones I try to really hold onto. They're the moments where the world outside just fades away, and it's just us. It's the quiet gurgles, the soft splashes, the sweet smell of clean baby skin, and the feeling of her tiny hand gripping my finger. These are the memories I know I'll look back on and cherish forever. And knowing that I'm using products that are gentle, effective, and from a brand I trust, just makes those moments even sweeter. It gives me peace of mind, which is priceless when you're a mom. I feel like I'm giving her the best start, and that's all I want for my girls.
