“So I thought it would be fun to create an experience for her, so every time she gets to take a bath, she picks one of her favorite bath bombs and gets to put it in the tub,” she went onto say. “I went to Target and picked up these pretty bath bombs, and some of them even have little surprises inside, so I know she’ll be super excited about it.”

The following video shows the mom’s tube filled with a bright blue color that looks like an ocean somewhere on a tropical island.
Venkov even recommends having “Bath Dropz”on hand, just incase there ever comes a time where the bath bombs have run out and mom hasn’t had the time to make a quick trip to Target.
The video which has nearly two million likes and over five thousand comments, is showing up on the “for you page” of hundreds of thousands of moms who have similar struggles when it comes to bath time.

Others have also commented their own suggestions regarding what works for their kids so there’s less fighting getting in and out of the tub.
However, even though bath bombs can be colorful, fun, and, soothing some parents have expressed their own concerns of some bath bombs that can cause infections.
According to Healthline, parents should be cautious and understand what ingredients each bath bomb is made out of to make sure what’s dropping in the bath is safe for the kids.
