Baby Bath Time Tips For New Parents
When you become a parent you will have an assortment of questions that you think are quite silly, but in reality are really quite necessary for you to know the answer to. My wife and I felt foolish whenever we had to ask our midwife how often we were supposed to bathe our newborn baby.
She of course did not make us feel silly about asking this question and told us that it should be done every other day, since it was the winter time (it can be done daily in the summer). What we did not expect, was that bathing your baby can be quite a daunting task at first when you aren't sure of what to do. However, practice makes perfect and it became a routine task that was done quite easily as our baby began to grow.
Tips For Bathing Your Baby The First Time
I recommend buying the Aveeno baby wash, as this is the one we found to be the most gentle, but there are a number of other quality brands out there that you may like better. As for the shampoo we went with the old standard of the Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo.
Once you have the bath products that you need, next up is of course bathing your baby. The most important thing is to make sure that the baby tub is not filled all of the way, and that you use lukewarm water. Always be sure to test the water before you put your baby in the tub, to ensure that it is not too hot or too cold. You will then want to start a routine of how you wash your baby, so that you never miss a spot.
I preferred to start with my daughters face, and then I would work my way down slowly making sure that I got in all of her little creases and crevices. You want to pay particular attention to not only her private parts, but between her toes, and most especially her neck. Most babies have a roll of fat around their necks, and you have to make sure this area is properly cleaned each and every time, as it can't chafe quite easily in become infected if it is not cleaned well.
You will then want to lean your baby forward and allow her to rest on your arm, so you can wash her back and bottom. You also want to take this opportunity to wash behind her ears at this time,
as it is much easier to clean them when your baby is in this position, as opposed to when she is sitting back. Finally, you will want to wash her hair, and then rinse her off from head to toe with lukewarm water.
Please note that the most important part of bathing your baby is putting her into the tub and taking her out of the tub. You will always want to support her head as you are placing her into the tub,
and gently ease her into it. Whenever you are taking her out of the tub, use great care as she can be quite slippery, and be sure to grab her under the arms, as this provides the surest grip possible.
