| Abstract: | Waterplay is enjoyed by everyone, from birth to death. The doctor  prescribes daily baths for the baby not only for cleanliness but because it is a soothing experience for both parent and child. In general, this time is one of the most enjoyable periods in the young parents' day. When the baby is old enough to be put into a small tub, patting the water and watching a floating object are quite enjoyable while being bathed.Joan M.
