How to Prepare for Bath Time
Preparation is essential for your baby’s safety. Here are the essentials needed for a quality bath time.

Baby Bathtub, Support Seats, and Mat
Bathtubs may come in different styles, designs, and sizes. They help to guide your baby safely, especially in the absence of guiding hands. Settle for one with a supportive non-slip seat, and preferably one with a headrest. Support seats are useful for infants who still can’t sit up, while mats help stabilize those who can stand.

A mat is also helpful while changing diapers or if you want to lay down your baby for a while. They are usually made from soft materials, like soft fabric or sponge that are not harsh on a baby.

Body Wash, Shampoo and Sponge
Get body washes that have low or no fragrances, additives, or harsh dyes or chemicals. This is to prevent allergic reactions in your baby.

Your selected sponge or wash cloth should be a soft one, for example cotton, to avoid cracks on your baby’s skin.

Bath Toys
Bath toys can enhance your baby’s developmental skills and bath time enjoyment. There are classic toys like rubber duckies, spout-based water-pouring toys, squirt toys, stacking cups, foam letters, and so on. They will encourage creative play and strengthen developing skills.

Steps into an Exciting Bath Time
Get the room warm and draft-free so your baby does not get cold before you start bathing.
Gather all the necessary supplies, such as soap, shampoo, soft washcloths, and towels. Keep a clean diaper and a change of clothes by the side too.

Prepare the bathtub with warm water around the body temperature. You can keep the temperature of the water between 37 and 38°C (98 and 100°F). Check the water regularly to avoid it being too cold for your baby.

Remove your baby’s clothes and gently place them in the bathtub for a gentle, thorough wash. You can leave the diaper on until the last minute so your baby does not feel too bare or unsafe.
While bathing, keep your baby’s head supported, and gently splash the water to wash the body and hair.

Rinse your baby’s body thoroughly, leaving no traces of soap. Carefully dry off the body with a soft towel by gently dabbing.

Wrap your baby with a dry towel or clothes when done. You can also massage your baby’s body for quick relaxation or sleep, but avoid using lotions or oils.
