Boots’ Baby Dreamtime Bath product is gentle and mild, leaving baby’s skin soft and subtly fragrant after a bath. Its hypoallergenic formula won’t aggravate sensitive skin but it does also mean that to create any decent bath-time bubble action, quite a lot of mixture needs to be used.
On the other hand, if bubbles en masse are overwhelming for your little one, you’re likely to use less mixture and the product will last longer, making it great value for money.

The price of the product is reasonable and often included in offers. I like the design of the product and all the boxes that it ticks i.e hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested and paediatrician approved.

Offering a trial size or travel size bottle would be handy. I have nothing but praise for it, I have even used it in the day for a nappy explosion just to help clean my baby.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
This is a great product for all children of all ages! It has a lovely but gentle fragrance, it's not overpowering. The bottle is easy to use, pour and keep clean and it is easy to see when you are running low given the bottle design. It creates plenty of bubbles, and helps with relaxing, cleaning and getting ready for bed.
How did this product make your life easier?
Its relaxing fragrance and ingredients help to make bath time a calm experience, which in turn helps make bedtime a more calm experience. The bottle is see-through so you can also keep a check on when you are running low - so you don't have a crisis when there are no bubbles for the bath which has happened in the past.

Every aspect of this product is great. The fragrance is lovely and not too overpowering, which makes me happy to use it on my baby as well as my toddler. It makes a good amount of bubbles with little liquid.
What changes would you make to this product?
I wouldn't change anything about Boots Baby Dreamtime Bath. I would happily buy this product again and again for both of my children. I really like the fragrance especially it feels very safe to use for newborns as well as preschoolers.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Boots Baby Dreamtime Bath to other mums. It is the best bubble bath I have used with my children! It feels very mild and after using this with my toddler and realising how gentle it was, I had no concerns using it for my newborn. The fragrance is mild and dreamy, perfect for bedtimes and not overpowering at all.
How did this product make your life easier?
Both of my children have sensitive skin and are susceptible to mild eczema. Often after a bath their skin can feel dry, however after using this product their skin felt soft and clean. The fragrance is definitely relaxing and perfect for winding my children down after a busy day - I cannot express enough how much I like the smell of this bubble bath!
Would you choose this product to win?
I have used other bedtime bath products before but this one seems far more gentle and the subtle fragrance, and mild formulation is perfect for young skin. The bubble bath is well priced compared to similar products.
What changes would you make to this product?
There is nothing that I can identify as an improvement for this product, but I really would love to be able to buy a baby shampoo with the same fragrance. I just love how it is not overpowering and my children smell clean after their bath, and their skin feels soft. If I had any time to relax in the bath, I will definitely be using this too!!

Would you recommend this to other mums?
Oh my goodness! This is an absolute godsend! It smells amazing and foams up incredibly well, it made my babies smell amazing after every bath and helped to relax them before bedtime. The bottle is a bit simplistic but what's inside the bottle is far from it, they have created a wonderful bubble bath for children.
How did this product make your life easier?
It was nice to use a bubble bath where the scent lasted more than 5 minutes on my children afterwards, you only need to use a little drop or two and it foams up so well, I've used lots of different brands of bubble bath when it comes to children and this is certainly among the best ones that I've used, if not better.

Boots Baby Dreamtime Bath is great value for money. It's nowhere near as expensive as other brands and it does exactly what it says, creates a dreamy bath, it helped to relax my children after a long or busy day and helped them to settle down for the night, the scent remained on them long after the bath had finished, and the amount of bubbles there were was incredible from such a small amount used!
What changes would you make to this product?
I would change the design of the bottle itself, I would make it a bit more colourful, my eldest child didn't seem too enthusiastic about using it in comparison to one we had used previously, however she changed her mind when she saw how many bubbles were created from such a small amount and it was easy to pour and to hold and she was chuffed that she could help me use it.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I loved this product mainly because it smelled so nice! You get a large bottle for the price and it lasts a long time as you don't need to add much to the bath to get lots of bubbles. My baby seemed fine with it on his skin - no reactions to it and he is still very little so it must be sensitive as it says. I also didn't notice it stinging his eyes or anything. Overall a very good product for the price.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
This is a nice product which is soothing for baby at night-time baths and also smells absolutely gorgeous. We really thought this product was good for the price. As its a large bottle, it lasts a long time too - meaning less trips to the shops!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I think this was a great buy - I can't really think of anything that I would change to improve it. Perhaps add something to it which moisturises baby's skin as well?
