Bath time was supposed to be a gentle and fun moment for little Lyto. The warm water rippled softly in the basin while Mama carefully held him, splashing water gently over his tiny body. At first, Lyto felt safe—his small hands clutched tightly onto Mama’s arm as he blinked curiously at the water around him.
But then, Mama had to step aside for just a moment to grab a towel. The instant her touch left him, Lyto’s calmness shattered. His tiny body stiffened, his mouth opened wide, and he let out a piercing, heart-wrenching cry. His little legs kicked in the water, splashing wildly, as if he was afraid of being left all alone.
His cries grew louder with each passing second, echoing through the room. The water droplets mixed with his tears as he squirmed helplessly, calling for Mama. To him, the bath no longer felt safe—it felt lonely and scary without her warm hands holding him.
When Mama returned, Lyto’s cries softened immediately, though his tiny chest still heaved from the tantrum. He clung desperately to her, pressing his wet face against her chest as if to say, “Don’t leave me again, Mama!”
Mama gently kissed his head, whispering calm reassurance while wrapping him snugly in a towel. Lyto’s sobs turned into soft whimpers until finally, he felt safe enough to relax again.
For this little baby, bath time is not just about getting clean—it’s about trust, safety, and the comfort of knowing Mama will never really leave his side
