Bathtime: the right way to bathe a bab

The Perfect Time and Place:

In general, a baby is not very particular concerning the time and place for a bath. In the first few months it only requires a bath every 2 to 3 days, and once per day afterwards. There are only a few basic rules to follow for this special time between you and your child:

• Where? You can take a bath with your baby by putting it in a padded bath chair. You can also use the sink if it is big enough for the child to move without hitting itself or put it in a clean washbasin or small baby bath.
• When? We recommend baths that take place a while away from feeding, napping, or bedtime. It is important to think about your schedule as a parent: for those of us who have to go to work, a bath in the evening is better than one in the morning when everyone is in a rush!

The Ideal Conditions:

It is bathtime and you have readied your kit with a soft towel, a natural sea sponge or soft washcloth, a Body & Hair Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel, a diaper, and clothing. The bathwater should not be hotter than 37°C, and the air temperature should not be lower than 20°C. To wash your child safely, put its head on your forearm and use the other to clean it.

The Different Parts of the Bath:

• Before putting the baby in the bath, take off its diaper and, if necessary, clean the area.
• Let the baby get comfortable in the water, it is very important for it to be able to relax and move all its limbs around.
• Gently wash its face with clear water with soft compresses or recyclable fluffy cotton pads. With the tip of your finger, wipe its eyes from the nose towards the cheek.
• Lightly clean the ears with a washcloth. Do not forget behind the ears to prevent crusting.
• Once or twice a week, wash its hair with an infant-specific skincare product, like our Body & Hair Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel. Be careful not to apply excessive pressure on its fontanels.
• With a soap-free washcloth, carefully scrub its tummy, back, arms, and legs.
• Lastly, wash its privates with an ultra-rich cleansing gel.
• Take your baby out of the bath and swaddle it in an extra comfy towel.
• Be sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any irritation.
• Apply a moisturizing cream before putting a diaper and clothes back on.
