Baby bath salt is not recommended.
Baby skin is very thin and permeable; bath salts containing magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt), essential oils, or artificial fragrances can irritate baby's skin, cause dryness, or cause digestive problems if baby swallows them. The pediatric recommendation is to add nothing to baby's bath water for at least the first 12 months — warm water alone (around 37°C) is enough for cleaning. Instead of scented or colored bath products, consider using fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, baby-specific liquid cleansers if needed. If you're thinking about using bath salt, I'd recommend checking with your pediatrician first.
