The bathing routine may not be the same every day, but always ensure the baby’s safety while bathing. Never leave your baby alone in a bath or tub with water, and always keep everything you need within arm’s reach.
You can bathe the baby in a plastic basin or any container that is not flat. You can place a towel or napkin inside to prevent slipping. Use lukewarm water, around 37°C, which should feel warm to your hand but not hot or cold. Support the baby’s head with one hand and their bottom with the other, gently placing them in the bath.
Wash the face first without soap, then the head and the rest of the body. After the bath, lay the baby on a towel and pat them dry. Be cautious with the baby’s head, keeping it away from powders to avoid respiratory issues.
If you are cleaning a baby girl, make sure to clean the folds of the labia, as oils may collect there. For an uncircumcised baby boy, gently pull back the skin of the penis to clean the head and ensure proper hygiene.
