At bathtime, I throw in baby’s dirty bibs from that day just after I take her out of the bath. They soak while we get on with the rest of our routine, and shortly after they are much easier to rinse out. CINDI MDEYAMA

Tomakenappy changes easier with a very active 8-month-old, I’ve placed my son’s mobile above his changing mat, and not above his cot anymore. This way, he is distracted by what’s above him and doesn’t wriggle as much. LISANNE JORDAAN

I used tissue oil togetridofmy baby’s stubborn cradle cap. I massaged it into her scalp about an hour before bathtime, and then washed her hair in the bath. After a day or two the cradle cap was gone and never returned. ADYA GOVENDER
