Bathing your baby is essential for their well-being, although we must keep in mind that it involves certain precautions, especially if your little one still has the umbilical cord.
Have you ever wondered how to bathe a newborn baby? We will give you some important tips for bathing your baby.
Bathing a newborn
Generally, as first-time parents, we tend to think that the baby should be bathed every day, use cologne, and other hygiene products. Below, we will tell you what is recommended.
With umbilical cord
- Bathe the baby two or three times a week with a soft sponge soaked in warm water to avoid burns.
- Provide stability by placing a towel underneath to prevent slipping or getting soaked with water.
- Use a neutral soap specialized for baby skin that does not cause allergies or irritation.
- Have the towel ready to dry the baby; remember it should be a soft towel, preferably with a hood, to keep their head at the ideal temperature.
- Don’t worry if the umbilical cord gets wet; just dry it very well with a soft towel. The cord will fall off about three weeks after your baby’s birth.
Without the umbilical cord
- Put some warm water in the bathtub, recommended to be between 23 and 25º C.
- Bathe the baby from head to toe to avoid contact with any secretion or bacteria.
- Gently turn the baby to bathe the back, remember to support them on your arm to avoid accidents.
Remember:
Bath time is a magical moment between you and your baby. Enjoy it!
