Fun Self-Care Ideas for Rainy Days at Home with Your Baby

Your favorite baby care practices can help turn any rainy day into one filled with the biggest smiles and the cleanest skin. So, get out the baby shampoo, wash, and lotion, and use those bath time and skincare products for fun indoor activities. The following tips can help keep babies, toddlers, and younger kids entertained when staying inside.

Get Out the Bubbles Bubbles are an instant smile-maker for any baby, toddler, kid, or adult. They’re so fun, and you can do them almost anywhere (as long as you’re okay with some suds). Dip into your supply of baby bath time products on rainy days and grab your favorite gentle baby shampoo with plant-based ingredients for a bit of bubbly fun. Go into the kitchen or a garage and give each child a 9x13-inch baking dish filled with water. Add some baby wash to the trays, and tell your kids to swish and splash the water around until they make their own suds! The great thing about this activity is that you can use any excess soapy water that gets on the floor to clean it when the kids finish. Just remember that things could get a little slippery! Make Bath Time a Fun Activity If you don’t want to make a mess in the house, just turn your regular bath routine into a fun activity. Make bubbles with a sensitive, fragrance-free baby bubble bath or baby wash from your favorite skin, hair, and body care brand with EWG Verified™ baby products. Mild formulas ensure that even your rainy-day activities are safe for your little one’s delicate skin while still keeping up the fun. Turn on the music, add some bath toys to the tub, and make it a little bath party. Or make bath time a learning activity and talk about the different kinds of plant-based ingredients in your baby products. You can ask where the plants grow or if your child has ever seen them. It’s likely that they’ve tried oats, seen sunflowers, or heard about watercress in a popular book about a trumpet and a swan. Information about nature is everywhere! Take Care of Sensitive Skin What comes after the bath? It’s time to take care of that delicate skin and bring out the baby lotion. Some babies aren’t the biggest fans of getting lotion on, but it’s still a great practice, and you can turn any baby care routine into a game. Keep your baby in a smaller, baby-safe area like a playpen, bathroom, or smaller baby-proofed area after their bath and “chase” them around. Put the lotion in your hand and place the container out of reach. Then, whenever you “catch” your little one, spread the lotion over their skin. For older kids, you can use the lotion to “paint” their skin before having them rub in the artwork. You might try putting the first letter of their name on their belly, giving them “freckles” of lotion on their arms, or painting a “snake” on their leg. You can always use gentle infant and toddler skincare products to make the day fun. Get out the baby wash for skin-friendly bubble activities, use baby lotion to “paint” your little one’s skin, or teach younger kids about the different plant-based ingredients in their products. It’s all fun for them!

first moments

words: 1.5k

warnings: mom!reader, dad!rafe, established relationship, brief hospital setting, anxiety (from rafe)

“rafe, wanna do chest to chest?” you hum, eyes mostly closed, the exhaustion from labor still affecting you.

“i…” he stares at you, and then at your son, resting against your chest, maternity dress pulled open so he's against your skin, his face resembling the exact same one rafe makes when he's sleeping. “its okay, you keep holding him.”

“okay.” you say, looking down at your son. it didn't take you long to decide on a name. leon andres cameron. leon after rafes grandfather and andres after your own. a good strong family name. 

“he's so perfect.” rafe whispers, his voice cracking slightly.

“come closer.” you beckon, rafe moving his chair closer, but still keeping his distance, making you frown. “what's wrong?”

rafes mouth opens, but no words come out. you pause, hand petting over leons back.

“wait…” your mind starts to piece together, still foggy from the delivery and drugs. “you haven't held him yet.”

“i-” rafe stumbles over his words, knowing he's been caught. “i can't. he's too tiny. too perfect. i-i don't want to ruin him.”

“ruin him?” you frown. “rafe, you're his father. get over here.”

you struggle to scooch over on the hospital bed, but manage to make room for rafe to sit down next to you. he even sits carefully, gnawing at his lip as you turn leon over, keeping him asleep as you turn him face up, supporting his neck the whole time.

“just cradle your arms. it's okay, you'll get used to it.” you watch as rafe moves his arms before placing leon in them, having to cover your mouth when the sudden urge to cry hits you, leon looking even smaller being held by your husband.

“i love him.” rafe whispers, voice cracking, a few tears sliding down his cheeks. “i love him so much.”

“look how relaxed he is in your arms.” you coo. “i knew you'd be a good dad.”

--

“god, im so nervous.” rafe looks in the backseat where you’re sitting, leon buckled tight into the carseat.

“its okay.” you hum, leaning forward and pressing a kiss to his cheek. “just drive slow.” “yeah, of course.” rafe nods. he barely puts the car above 15 miles per hour the entire ride home. leon thankfully stays asleep, you’re not sure if you could have handled just leaving the hospital and having him crying on the way home.

“okay, here.” rafe takes a deep breath as he pulls the car into the garage.

“you got his carseat?” you ask. your body is still recovering from birth, and you’re not sure if you can lift anything up without tearing.

“yeah.” rafe undoes the carseat carefully as you get out and unlock the house, happy to be home after two days spent in the hospital.

“mmm.” you breathe in the fresh air. “my eyes are so happy after all that fluorescent light.”

“um- watch out baby.” rafe hates having to have you move out of the way so quickly, but he can hear leon beginning to fuss and needs to get him inside.

you giggle and step away, watching as rafe quickly rushes to unbuckle him. he looks to you to get him out of the carrier, but you allow rafe to scoop him up, shushing him and gently rocking him back and forth.

--

“i got it.” rafe offers.

“no, he's hungry.” you groan, already feeling your breasts swelling with milk just from hearing his cry. “i can tell.”

“im sorry, baby.” rafe sighs, staying in bed as he tries to get back to sleep. no point having both of you completely exhausted.

you manage to settle leon, feeding him in the rocking chair rafe got you before you gave birth. he almost wakes when you transfer him back to the crib, but you get him down and back to rafe, crawling into bed next to him.

“i wish i could do more.” rafe sighs. so much of you is required from leon, not just the pregnancy but now needing to feed him. rafe tries to take care of anything else you could need, but he struggles with not knowing how to do things as basic as changing diapers.

“you're learning fast, rafe. it's okay.” you move closer so rafe can hold you, snuggling into your back, his hand gently rubbing over your hip.

“i don't deserve you.” you know it's just the exhaustion talking. you grip his hand in yours, squeezing three times, saying the words without needing to speak.

“we should sleep while he's asleep.” you say, rafe nodding and pressing kisses to your shoulders and upper back until you're pulled back to sleep.

--

“shh, leon, it's okay.” rafe looks around for you, surely you must have heard leons cries. you said you'd be just a minute, running to the beauty aisle to grab your conditioner before returning to rafe shopping for groceries.

rafe pushes the brim of the carrier back, his heart breaking as his sons little face scrunches with big tears rolling down his cheeks.

rafe isn't sure what to do, so he just lets his instincts guide him as he quickly undoes the seatbelt and lifts leon into his chest, being careful to hold his head just as you instructed.

the second leon is against rafes, his cries lessen, and then all together subside as rafe bounces gently.

“is he okay?” rafe looks up to see you hustling down the aisle towards him.

“yeah, he was upset but i got him.” rafe pats leons back gently, turning his head to press a kiss against his cheek.

“okay.” you let out a sigh of relief, tossing your conditioner into the grocery cart. “want me to take him?”

“no, im good.” rafe shifts leon a little as you start to walk, pushing the carrier and loading the bottom up with more groceries, especially all the things you couldn't have while pregnant but are now safe despite still breastfeeding.

rafe doesn't miss the way you keep looking over at him with light in your eyes, excitement evident at seeing how comfortable rafe is becoming with leon held snuggly in his arms.

--

“are you sure?” you ask, frowning as your eyes flicker between leon laying on the couch cushion and rafe sitting next to him, focus on your baby as he makes silly faces at him.

“baby, i know i struggled at first, but this is one weekend. you have plenty of milk pumped. ill be fine.” rafe scoops leon into his arms as he stands, walking towards you.

“besides, if i need help i can always call your mom. even wheezie, you know she'll be happy to see leon.” rafe shifts the baby to one arm while his free hand comes to cup your cheek. “go. please, i will miss you and leon will too, but you deserve a break.”

“okay.” you nod, getting on your tip toes to press a kiss to rafes lips before also kissing leon, who lets out a familiar cooing sound.

“im gonna text my girls.” you can't hide the excitement in your voice, pulling out your phone to confirm you'll be able to go to the girls spa weekend away. 

“i want nightly face times with you though baby.” you poke leons little nose, whose cheeks stretch into a smile.

--

“oh my god, rafe, is everything okay?” you squeal, squinting at the screen as if it'll somehow make leon appear.

“yes! fine, i promise.” rafe points the camera down so you can see leon happily on his lap, already looking tired as bedtime is quickly approaching.

“why didn't you pick up the first time?” you ask, a lot calmer now that you have eyes on your baby.

“leon and i were just getting home. i took him to the park. he couldn't really do anything but be in the carrier but he liked watching the other kids play.” rafe looks down at leon, giving him a little tickle under the chin. “isn't that right buddy?”

“did you-”

“yes, i put sunscreen on him. and he wore a hat. and-” rafe stresses before you can interrupt. “i reapplied sunscreen after an hour.”

“you're the best.” you smile. “you know i never doubted you rafe, it's just-” you take a deep sigh. “i worry so much about him. and making sure he's happy.”

“and he is.” rafe assured you. “look at his little face.”

you feel tears well up in your eyes as you look at your husband and your son, snuggled together on the couch. you quickly take a screenshot while they both have smiles on their faces.

“you're such a good mama. leons lucky to have you, and so am i.”

the tears are now falling down your cheeks as you smile. “i love you.”

“i love you too. and we miss you, but go enjoy your night with the girls!”

“okay.” you nod. “you're right. ill be home tomorrow around noon.”

“got it.” rafe holds the camera closer to leon. “say bye bye to mommy, leon.”

the call ends with his smiling face looking back at yours.

3 Ways to Change Your Baby Products for the Better

You need baby products to help you take care of your little one’s skin. It’s delicate and new and needs mild formulas. If you look at your collection of baby products, what do you see? Do you know where the ingredients came from? Does it have a seal from the Environmental Working Group? You want to do what’s best for your little one, and to do that, you have to choose high-quality baby products.

Changing your baby products for the better requires looking at three crucial things about the formula. The following tips will help you find baby products that help nourish and maintain delicate skin and help you feel more comfortable identifying pure, baby-safe formulas for daily use.

Look for Plant-Based Ingredients

Your baby needs mild formulas with nourishing ingredients, but many products use potentially harsh ingredients that could lead to irritation. So, why not choose a product to care for their skin that’s made with a gentler formula? Mother Nature-approved, plant-based ingredients can help your baby’s skin feel soft and smooth every day. You can find baby shampoo and wash, baby sunscreen, baby lotion, baby balm, and diaper rash cream with pure and effective plant-based ingredients.

Use Pediatrician-Tested Products

Baby products need more than a seal of approval from dermatologists. While that is important, you may also want to look for a product description that states “pediatrician tested” as well. Pediatricians are doctors that specialize in infant care. They understand what a baby needs to ensure their skin is healthy. Third-party testing by pediatricians is a great indication of a brand’s dedication to providing high-quality products that are safe for your little ones. Other approvals to find for products like baby sunscreen, baby wash, and baby lotion include dermatologist approval and an EWG Verified™ mark.

Choose Fragrance-Free Formulas

The last way to change your baby products for the better is to opt for fragrance-free formulas. Added fragrances are potential irritants to skin and eyes—a baby’s delicate skin doesn’t need them. While some formulas with plant-based ingredients or zinc may have a faint, earthy scent, it comes naturally from the ingredients instead of a synthetic fragrance. Some of the best brands with sensitive collections of products for babies will offer fragrance-free formulas for their delicate skin.

Baby products are a necessity in a house with little ones. From baby wash and hand soap to diaper rash cream and miracle balms, you want to protect and nourish your baby’s skin so they continue feeling their best. With mild products and fragrance-free formulas, you can keep smiles on faces and moisture in their delicate skin, cleaning and protecting it from morning to night.

That post I reblogged that mentioned Pokémon-safe sunscreen reminded me of the time I was walking with Momo for an hour or two on a particularly sunny day and forgot to put sunscreen on her...

For a Pokémon I know is not actually made of bread, I swear it looked and smelled like somebody had ever so briefly stuck a loaf of bread in the oven for the next day.

And I looked... bright pink. Turns out I had forgotten both of our sunscreen.
