Bathing is one of the most important stages of hygiene and daily care of the baby. This is a special time when a bond is established between the child and parents that benefits the baby.
One bath per day at the right temperature
The water should not be too hot, because. hot water contributes to the appearance of dry skin, and too cold water will cause discomfort to the baby. It is recommended to bathe a child at a water temperature of about 37 degrees, after making sure that there is not too much water in the bath. Then, day after day, you can reduce the degree of water, increasing the time of bathing.
Suitable mild cleanser
It is necessary to make sure that for bathing a baby you have chosen a special baby product designed for bathing babies. First, add a few drops of cleansing oil to the bath. It is important to use a gentle cleanser that gently cleanses the skin without damaging the skin barrier. Many baby gentle cleansers are suitable for shampooing as well.
Use your fingertips
Washcloths or sponges can irritate the skin. In addition, microbes can be on their surface. To bathe the baby, soft mother’s or father’s hands are enough. To gently wash your baby, lather the cleanser (gel or special bath oil) onto the skin with your fingers, gently wash your baby, then rinse thoroughly.
Dry skin gently
Gently pat your baby’s skin dry with a soft towel, paying special attention to the creases, leaving no wet patches.
