Baby bath time is a ritual of gentleness and bonding. Our selection — bath towels with hoods absorbent towels, super-soft dressing gowns, safe water toys — transform this daily routine into a special moment. Organic cotton, bamboo towelling, hypoallergenic materials.
Bath time is much more than just a hygiene routine: it is a moment of relaxation, play and connection between baby and parents. At PetitMaxou, we bring together everything needed to turn this daily appointment into a moment of pure gentleness — from the ultra-absorbent bath cape to the water toys that bring out bursts of laughter.
There baby bath towel with a hood is the accessory that makes all the difference when getting out of the water. Cosy, absorbent and warm, it makes it possible to dry baby quickly without them getting cold — a crucial point for newborns who still struggle to regulate their temperature. Opt for an organic cotton or bamboo towelling model, ideally between 75×75 cm and 100×100 cm depending on age.
The baby dressing gown takes over around 12-18 months, when baby starts walking and refuses to stay swaddled. Practical, playful (often with ears or animals on the hood), it extends the cosy post-bath feeling.
Les bath toys turn this time into a real play area. Floating animals, watering cans, squeeze toys, educational bath mats: they stimulate sensory development while amusing baby. Tip: choose toys without holes to prevent stagnant water from accumulating inside. One-piece silicone models are the most hygienic.
On the safety side: never leave baby unattended in the water, even for a few seconds. Check the temperature (37°C is ideal) with a bath thermometer. A non-slip mat prevents slips.
Contrary to popular belief, baby does not need to be bathed every day. 2-3 baths a week are enough for the first few months. Too many baths can dry out fragile skin.
Establish a soothing routine: a short bath (5-10 minutes), dim lighting, drying off wrapped in a hooded towel, a massage with plant-based oil, pyjamas, bedtime. This routine quickly becomes a natural cue for falling asleep.

How often should you wash the baby bath towel? As long as it stays soft and in good condition — usually 2-3 years. Move up a size around 18-24 months when baby outgrows it.
Can you use bath toys right from birth? Yes, provided they are suitable and supervised. But it is only really useful from 3-4 months onwards.
