Baby Bath Step by Step
Baby bath is a wonderful opportunity to bond with your baby. Before bathing I take a moment to spend one on one with my baby.
Here you can read about the steps of gentle, safe and effective bath:
 |
|
Before you start bathing, prepare everything you need: A towel
, a wash cloth
and baby wash . |
| |
|
Fill up your baby's tub
with 2 to 3 inches (about 5 to 8 centimeters) of warm water and blend to ensure that the temperature is right.
|
| |
|
Always check the water with your wrist or elbow before bathing. To prevent scalding, water should be warm not hot. The baby bath temperature should be between 36°C and 38°C.
|
| |
|
Make sure the room is comfortably warm too.
|
| |
|
Gently place your baby in the bath tub, supporting the head and back with one arm. |
| |
|
Use a damp washcloth to wipe your baby's body. I usually start with the face cleaning the area around the eyes, mouth and nose, behind the ears and inside the folds of the neck. I continue by massaging the head and the rest of the body, cleaning the diaper area last.
|
| |
|
Keep pouring warm water over your baby to keep his/her body warm. |
| |
|
When you finish, hold your baby in your arms, support his back and neck, wrap him/her with a towel and dry off. |
| |
|
Never leave you baby alone in the water!! If you forget an item pick up your baby and carry him/her with you. |
| |
|
Giving your baby his iron while bathing can prevent stains of iron on the baby's cloths. |
| |
|
It is a good idea to give your baby his vitamins while bathing. Making it routine, will prevent you from forgetting this task. |
