Bathing your baby is an essential part of their daily hygiene. It helps remove dirt, germs, and excess oil from their delicate skin. Here's a guide to safe and effective baby bathing:
When to Bathe Your Baby
• Newborns: Bathe your newborn every other day or as needed.
• Older babies: As your baby grows, you can increase the frequency of baths to once a day or every other day.
Preparing for a Bath
• Gather your supplies: Gather everything you need before starting the bath, including a soft washcloth, mild baby soap, a clean diaper, and a towel.
• Warm the room: Make sure the room is warm and draft-free to prevent your baby from getting cold.
• Fill the tub: Fill the tub with a few inches of lukewarm water. Test the temperature with your elbow before placing your baby in the tub.
