For caregivers encountering a little resistance to bathing, here’s a great idea – ask your loved one to help you bathe someone else - and who better than a cute, little baby? Of course, they’ll need to step into the shower to do so, but you’d appreciate their help so-o-o-o much. These soft, cuddly, award-winning dolls are completely waterproof, machine washable and meant to be bathed.

What we like best about this product:
To persuade a resistant patient to take a shower experts suggest offering rewards (such as candy), explaining that someone may be coming to visit and "you need to take a shower," explaining that "we're going to church today and we've got to get ready," and doll therapy.
Doll therapy and the benefits of these adorable little "babies" has proven helpful over and over. As Alzheimer's renews past life experiences of caring for a little one, bathing that "child" often serves the patient's caregiver as well, and the repeated strategy seems to work better than repeated fibs.
Though designed for younger children, these water-proof dolls serve their adult purposes well. Bring them right into the shower so they can be cleaned, cleaning their carer at the same time. Once again, no fighting, no upset, no resistance -- but this time: two clean patients!
