You will soon be an old pro and you and your baby will anticipate bath time. You may first wish to get a baby bath, if you have not already received one as a present. The baby bath usually has folding legs, which makes it a snap to seat safely in the kitchen sink. The kitchen sink is just the right height to handle baby safely and will save your back.

You also will not risk slipping or making ungainly reaches as you would in the bathtub. The baby bath has sloping sides and a comfy, secure fit for your baby.

When showering baby, you need to elude cold drafts so baby does not catch the sniffles. Have two baby towels and a washcloth ready for the event. Check the baby bath legs to be certain they are strongly prepared. Wrap baby in one of the towels and softly set the child in the bath. Unfold the bath towel and drape the perimeters over the sides of the bath. This makes it simple and fast to catch any water that might begin to run into baby’s eyes. Use baby shampoo to get some sudsy water going on the washcloth. A little soapy water in the eyes can put a baby off showering as a fun activity.

Just as you test the temperature of baby’s milk, test your water temperature often. When baby’s all fresh and clean, lift the child out and swaddle the lovable one in a fresh, dry towel.
