How to Bathe Your Newborn?

Bathing a newborn baby is a delicate process. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Prepare the baby bath essentials: Gather all the necessary items such as a washcloth, soap, towel, diaper, and clothing.

2. Choose your bathing location: You can use a baby tub or a sink.

3. Fill the baby tub: Fill the tub or sink with a few inches of warm water, not higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Check the temperature: Always test the water temperature with your elbow or wrist to make sure it's not too hot.

5. Place baby in the tub: Support the baby’s head and neck with one arm and lower them into the water feet first.

6. Clean baby: Use a washcloth or sponge to gently clean the baby's face and body with mild soap, avoiding the eyes and ears.

7. Rinse baby well: Rinse the baby's skin with clean water and remove all soap.

8. Dry baby: Lift the baby out of the water and pat them dry with a towel, paying attention to the skin folds.

9. Dress the baby: Dress the baby in a clean diaper and clothing and keep them warm and dry.

Remember, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or questions about bathing your newborn. Always ensure that you’re supporting your baby with one hand while cleaning them with the other.
