Drinking soapy water could cause an upset tummy and, if your child drank enough of it, could make him throw up. But this is pretty unlikely since most kids spit water out if it has that unpleasant soapy taste. And the amount of soap your child would actually ingest is pretty small considering how much water it's diluted with in a typical bathtub.

If it’s a litte bit and you’re using baby soap, it should be fine. Just feed baby normally, and monitor baby’s activity level:)

It's ok. It's v common! I let my boy drink warm water after bathing n hopefully dilute anything he might have drunk!

Use baby safe products. Should be ok if the amount is little.
