Here below are some easy tips to help you to learn how to bathe your newborn baby.

*Prepare everything in advance. Necessary items are listed as follows :

- baby bath tub

- baby soap

- baby shampoo

- baby towel

- new clothes

*Turn off air condition; bathe your newborn baby in a warm room

*Place your newborn baby in the tub gently. Hold him/her gently but firmly. Please be confident. You have to support his/her neck and head with one hand and use the other hand to support him/her bottom.

*Prepare warm water and be sure it's not too hot for your newborn baby as it may burn him/her. (take the temperature with your elbow or you may use bath thermometer) The water should be about 29 C (85 F)

*Clean your newborn baby through out his/her body or from top to bottom; washing his/her face, hands and diaper area. Don't use any soap on your newborn baby's face.

*In the first week and month, you would have to wash your newborn baby's head carefully. Until your newborn baby's hair starts to thickness, you can use a gently baby shampoo. While washing his/her hair, you should try to keep the water out of his/her face as much as possible.

*Your newborn baby would appreciate not having to lay in a hard plastic tub. So, find bath pad which is softer, safer and more convenient.

*Your baby would have much fun while bathing; he/she will play with water by kicking as well as splashing. Talk to him/her as much as you can or you may sing a song during the bath time.

*Bathe your newborn baby as quickly as possible. It should be safe either.

*When you have finished the bathing, wrap your newborn baby in a warm towel, dry him/her and put on a clean nappy and fresh clothes accordingly.
