baby towel, baby soap, baby shampoo, diapers and clothes are all ready.
Your newborn should be bathed in a warm room so switch off fan and air conditioner.
While
placing the newborn in the bathtub, your one hand should be supporting
his back and neck while the other hand should be supporting his bottom.
The water should be neither too hot nor too cold. An ideal temperature of the water would be 29C or 85F.
Soap should not be used on the baby's face.
Bathtub could be uncomfortable and hard for the baby, so always put a bath sheet for your baby's comfort.
Sing to your baby while you bathe him/her, so that he/she enjoys.
Don't pick them up suddenly
You
need to make sure that your baby is ready to be picked up. Hold them
first and give them time to curl their bodies to be lifted. If they're
sleeping you should be gentle in lifting them up as they won't curl up
their bodies and be ready for you.
Baby nutrition tips:Your baby needs water but not in the plain and distilled form. Whatever need of water the baby has, is fulfilled through the milk. Therefore, you are not supposed to provide him water until he is above 6 months. Once he starts teething, he would need water but until then just feed him milk.
