How to Give a Bath to Your baby?

Most of new mothers may not know how to take a bath for your lovey baby. To day I want to share some tips to you about how to give a bath to your baby.

Once the cord is dropped, your baby is ready for a real bath in the inflatable baby toddler bathtub, sink (sink) or in the baby bath. In either case, cover the bottom with a towel to make it softer and less slippery. It will be better that you have someone else nearby to help you support you because it is a litter slippery. Prepare everything you need before taking a bath for your baby so you do not have to worry about bathing.

We give you this simple list:

A large towel with hood

A sponge or soft cloth

Cotton pompoms

Baby soap or bath soap

A baby brush or comb

Infant bathrobe bath towel

You will only need about 5 centimeters of warm water to give your baby an effective bath. Try to place a warm cloth around her stomach in order to prevent her from getting cold.

These early baths should not be too long or meticulous, but they should be effective. Hold your baby firmly and then you should clean the dirt or loose skin that has accumulated. You will have to hold baby’s head and back while you take a bath for her. While you wash her, you shouldpay special attention to:

The genital and diaper areas.

Hands and feet, toes and fingers

The folds on the back of the knees, neck and thighs.

The face. If dirt has accumulated around the eyes, use a cotton swab to clean it.

Armpits

Behind the ears.

Hair and head care

Not all babies are born with a full head of hair, but if your baby has hair, wash it with a soft baby shampoo as needed. Simply apply a little shampoo to your hair and gently massage it, and let it settle for a brief time and rinse it. .

Water temperature for baby bath

Your baby's skin is more sensitive than yours. As a result, bath water that sits well for you will be too hot for him. Before putting your baby close to the water, try it with the back of your wrist or elbow: These areas are more sensitive to heat than your hand. The water should be warm, but not hot.

Finally, do not be surprised if your baby cries during their first baths. He is only reacting to an unknown sensation. Keep the temperature warm, the bath water pleasant and calm with caresses and songs. You will soon learn to enjoy bath time.
