🛁 Don’t leave water in the tub after bath time ends. Little ones are naturally curious and can quickly find their way to water, even when you least expect it. Whether you’re using a baby bathtub, bath seat, or inflatable tub, always empty them immediately after use. Store them upside down and out of children’s reach to keep your little ones safe. 💧
