A true daily ritual of pleasure, cleansing is a privileged moment of exchange and complicity between baby and parents. Cleaning the eyes, nose, ears and bottom. With maternity stays becoming shorter and shorter, young parents have just enough time to learn the rudiments of baby grooming. And bathing is one of the simplest ways of washing your baby from birth.
For this purpose, you'll need a small plastic bathtub, or a mini-transat or bath seat to hold your baby in the tub. After 6 months, once your child is able to sit upright, you can use the bathroom bathtub by attaching a non-slip mat to the bottom to prevent slipping. The water temperature should be around 37°C, and you should take care to measure the temperature with a thermometer, as burns are common.
Make sure that the bath does not last longer than 5 minutes. To wash your baby, either soap him directly in the bath, or use a soft glove outside the bath before plunging him into the water. As for technique, soap your child with a soap-free cleanser, starting with the head, then wash the body and genitals. Clean the bottom last. Finally, rinse your baby with bath water.
As for the hair, shampoo two or three times a week (unless otherwise advised by a doctor). Gently rub baby' s head with a very mild shampoo suitable for babies , and rinse with a shower jet or by hand using a container. Finally, after bathing, wrap baby in a large, soft towel, carefully drying the folds to prevent moisture from irritating his fragile skin.
During the bath, it's essential to keep an eye on your child, without taking your eyes off him for a moment. Ensuring your baby's daily hygiene is essential for his comfort and health. Every day, careful cleansing with products adapted to baby's fragile skin is essential.
