Bath time shouldn’t leave your back aching or your shoulders burning. In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, we’re diving into real-life, mom-tested ways to make bath time safer, easier, and more comfortable—for you and your kids.

Whether you’re bathing a slippery newborn, wrangling a wiggly toddler, or teaching an independent preschooler how to wash themselves, these ergonomic tips will help you move smarter, not harder.

You’ll learn:

🧍‍♀️ How to protect your back, neck, and shoulders with better posture and body mechanics

👶 Tips for promoting independence and body awareness in your kids (“You Go, I Go” method)

🧴 Simple swaps and tools—like bath kneelers, elbow rests, and rinse wands—that make a big difference
