Bath books – as mentioned in this piece, bath books are a great way to keep your toddler entertained in the bath. Made of waterproof, smooth and safe material with no rough edges (it will go in their mouth lets face it!) Heh-heh, guess who won a partial ARC of this beloved new book coming soon? That's right, folks. Finally, we can get a book discussing the bathroom situation! And whether you decide to get out of the bathroom or stay in, you're safe in this bathroom. You don't have to worry. Life will still be life. It turns out that it might be useful thinking about bedtime even before you start your Bath, Book, Bed routine. 'Don't just drop bedtime on them,' suggested @danigraves87. 'Lead up to it. We use a sand timer to say how long they have left to finish playing a game or with toys so they have a visual and know what's happening. We found it stopped the moaning and asking for more time.'

I kind of can't even describe it to you, really. If you like people, and long for the simplicity of a bygone era, and are sometimes (or all the time) shy, and bean arches are something you could spend between 10 minutes and a year's worth of time on, interest wise, you're in the right place. Joe Pera goes to the bathroom a lot. And his friend, Joe Bennett, does too. They both have small bladders but more often it’s just to get a moment of quiet, a break from work, or because it’s the only way they know how to politely end conversations. But sometimes, you just have to go with it! 'If your little one is awake and energetic when you attempt to settle for the night, go with the energy!' suggested @ThisWomansWord. 'Have a game of rough and tumble to tire them out as opposed to getting frustrated and having potential power struggles. This worked for us.'

10. Make books a treat

Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh Comedian Pera and illustrator Bennett has the tendency to seek refuge in the bathroom – mostly to get a moment of respite from work and just have a few moments of quietness – or to politely end conversations. So, they decided to create a functional meditative guide to help people who suffer from social anxiety in a comedic style. Sinirleniyorum ben böyle şeylere arkadaş! Evrensel bir derecelendirme mi yapacaksınız artık, bir seçici tavsiye kurulu mu kuracaksınız bilemiyorum; bir şey yapın, beni şu aşırı sanatlı gibi basit çizimlerin altına kısa kısa cümleler yazmalı "ay ama çok post-modern bir kitap buuu" bokundan kurtarın.

You will have your own personal preference about the style of illustration the book contains and what the stories are about. Our Bath, Book, Bed campaign is all about helping you get your little ones to sleep - and we know how important that is for your whole family.

1. Build up to the routine

You're not going to laugh out loud (probably—except maybe for the Jane Goodall jokes). But you just might smile—even a half-smile—because it reminds you of human oddities. And maybe because it'll remind you that you're not alone in needing this oasis from reality.

You can introduce bath books at any age, although until they can sit up independently there is a limit as to how interactive they can be. Most bath books carry a recommendation of between 1-3 years of age, but younger babies often love bath books and plenty of older children continue to enjoy bath books until they are 7 or 8. What are bath books made of? It's all about finding what works for your family. Lots of parents said their little ones don't have a bath every night because of eczema, or they have it at a different time of day because their children get too excited before bed. The primary purpose of books in the bathroom is to be entertained while you do…less entertaining things. Brosh’s illustrations are a hilariously accurate depiction of depression and the trials of adulthood but they are also just flat-out funny. Whether she’s talking about the dynamic between her two dogs, “helper dog” and “simple dog,” or her need to consume cake at all costs, this book will make you laugh so hard you’ll be glad you’re seated appropriately.

How to Vote

No, not for you - for your little ones! 'A soothing massage can help relax them, after bathtime or just before bed,' said @catskidschaos, while @LauraS27818 agreed: 'My eldest loved her legs being massaged. I'm hoping to start a massage class with my four-month-old in a couple of weeks. It's such a relaxing thing to do.' (And then maybe treat yourself to one, too!) Don't worry that you've already read the book a squillion times - they are still getting plenty from it,' promised @caroline_clary, although of course, that doesn't mean you won't be able to recite it off by heart. As @Londinium_Life said: 'Put up with repeats for the millionth time. Don't murder your husband when your child has FINALLY moved on from a title and he suggests it again!' Wise words. A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape will be waiting in the bathroom like a beacon for anxious readers looking to feel calm, confident, and less alone. Jenba590 suggested buying books as presents at other times, too. 'My two boys love books. The last few Easters they have asked for books instead of chocolate eggs! So we had a trip to the bookstore to choose some books, and of course they still had a couple of chocolate eggs, just not lots.' 11. Take your time This is a gentler humor—the purpose of it is to help you relax and regroup, maybe to take a beat and prepare to leave the bathroom to face whatever social pressure (or similar hurdle) lies outside the bathroom.
