Baby Bathing is an important part of maintaining your baby’s hygiene and bonding time. For newborns, it’s recommended to sponge bathe them until their umbilical cord stump falls off, usually around 1 to 3 weeks after birth.
After that, you can start giving your baby a regular bath in a baby tub or the sink. Use lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free baby soap to cleanse your baby’s body gently. Avoid submerging the baby in water for long periods, especially in the first few weeks, as it may cause their skin to dry out.
When bathing your baby, be careful to support their head and neck, keeping them warm throughout the process. Pay attention to areas where moisture can accumulate, such as behind the ears, in the folds of the neck, and around the diaper area.
Always dry your baby thoroughly after the bath and apply a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep their skin soft. Bath time should always be supervised, and never leave your baby alone in the water, even for a moment.
