How to bath my newborn baby?

Bath time can be a blast for both you and your baby as well as an excellent opportunity to get to know each other better. Bathing in a sponge is the ideal option when the umbilical line is in place. When the umbilical cord is taken off and you are able to bathe your baby no more than three every week. You can use mild soap designed specifically for babies. If your baby’s face begins to look dry, get him off baths or change on to sponge bathing. If your baby’s face continues to appear dry, red, or itchy, contact your pediatric physician. There are some babies who are prone to dry skin and others may be affected by something that is in their environment. A check-up with your pediatric doctor will help you determine the reason for your child’s dry skin.

Keep the room temperature around 24 degrees C and make sure it’s not too drafty. A small towel that you wrap around the head of your baby can help prevent chills.
The most relaxing bathing experience is with an intimate, non-skid bathtub or put an anti-skid mat inside a tub or sink.
It is recommended that the Mayo Clinic recommends dialing back your water heater to 38 degrees C in order to keep from the risk of scalding.
Begin by filling the sink or bath with water to a level that is shallow and adjust the temperature until you feel warm inside your forearm. After that, add your child to the bath or sink water.
Make use of a soft cloth to clean those areas on your infant that you can see and be sure to avoid getting soap and water into your baby’s eyes, ears and nose. It is possible to do this by placing your hands gently over these areas in order to block the flow of soap and water.
If you’re interested in cleaning the eyes and ears of your baby’s newborn make use of a moist cotton ball or washcloth, and only wash the outside areas.
After bathing your baby’s body and wrap them in the towel.
The washing of hair is generally most easily tolerated if the baby’s body is covered with dry towels.

If you have to go out of the bath during bath time, bring your baby along. Do not put your eyes or hands off of your baby while bathing, or anytime they are sitting on any elevated area.
