Tips for a Perfect Newborn Baby Bath
Creating a positive bath experience involves more than just the right products. Here are some tips to make bath time enjoyable for both you and your baby:
Prepare in Advance
Before starting the bath, it’s important to have everything you need ready and close by. Babies can be slippery when wet, and you don’t want to risk leaving them unattended to grab an item you forgot. Lay out a soft towel for drying, a clean washcloth for gentle washing, and the bath products you plan to use, such as a mild baby wash or shampoo.
By preparing in advance, you can focus on giving your baby a calm and soothing bath without distractions or interruptions.
Check the Water Temperature
A newborn's skin is delicate, so the water temperature should be just right lukewarm and not too hot or cold. The ideal temperature for a baby bath is around 37°C (98.6°F), which is close to body temperature. You can test the water with your wrist or elbow to ensure it feels warm, but not too hot.
This helps prevent any discomfort or burns, ensuring that your baby enjoys the bath without distress. Always err on the side of caution and avoid using water that feels even remotely hot to your touch.
Support Your Baby
Newborns have limited head and neck control, so providing proper support is crucial during bath time. A bath support, such as a soft, padded sling or tub insert, can help keep your baby comfortable and secure in the water. Alternatively, you can gently hold your baby with one arm while using your other hand to wash them.
Support their head and neck carefully to ensure they remain safe and relaxed throughout the bath. This allows you to keep both hands free for washing without compromising your baby’s safety.
Limit Bath Time
Newborn skin is sensitive and can dry out quickly, especially when exposed to water for prolonged periods. To avoid this, it’s best to limit bath time to around 5 to 10 minutes. This ensures your baby’s skin remains hydrated and protected from potential irritation.
A shorter bath also helps keep your baby from getting cold or restless. The goal is to cleanse and soothe, not overexpose your baby to water, so keeping the bath brief will help maintain their skin’s natural moisture balance.
Moisturise After Bathing
After the bath, your baby’s skin will be clean, but it’s essential to lock in moisture to keep it soft and hydrated. Gently pat your baby dry with a towel, making sure not to rub their delicate skin.
Once dry, apply a gentle, baby-friendly moisturiser to help replenish lost moisture and keep their skin smooth. A Natural Baby Moisturiser that is fragrance-free is ideal for babies to avoid irritation. Moisturising immediately after the bath helps seal in hydration, keeping your baby’s skin soft and nourished for hours.
