How to Give My Baby a Bath

Bathtime often worries young parents and raises many questions.
Organization, precaution and safety are essential!
Whether it’s in the morning or in the evening, bath time doesn’t really matter. It is a moment of relaxation and exchange with your child. You need to find your own schedule and the best time to devote yourself to your baby. It is generally recommended that you give your baby 3 baths a week during the first few months of life, ideally before or at a distance from meals so as not to interfere with digestion. The more you bathe, the more you will find your routine and feel comfortable with your baby.

 Preparing The Bath
You can use the bathtub in the bathroom or a free-standing bathtub to put in the shower
Ideally, the changing table should be located in the same room with all the equipment available, so that your baby is never left alone on the changing table or in the water
The temperature of the room should be around 25°C. Wait until the bath is full before undressing your baby, so that he or she never gets cold
A baby’s skin is particularly fragile and sensitive. Use products that are adapted to his skin and that do not sting the eyes: a cleansing gel for corns and hair with a physiological PH, and an extra grease-free product if he has dry skin.
The water in the bath should ideally be at 37°C. To check the temperature, use a bath thermometer or dip your elbow in the water. If the temperature is neutral, it is the right one.
