Be Gentle When Bathing Your Baby

You can use your bathtub, kitchen sink or a plastic baby tub. Use
something to line the tub to keep your baby from slipping. If you
use a foam liner for a tub, it needs to be dried out after each use.
This prevents the growth of germs. Or you can line the tub with a
bath towel. Be sure to wash and dry it after each use.
 Use a clean, damp washcloth, without soap, to wash her face.
Gently wash the outside and back of each ear and wash and dry
under her neck.
 Don’t use bubble bath or detergents in the bathwater since these
may cause rashes.
 Use damp cotton balls or cotton pads to gently wipe your baby’s
eyes before you put her in the tub. Be sure to support your baby’s
head when she is in the tub.
 Wash your baby’s hair and scalp very gently, using soap or a baby
shampoo. Do this only once or twice a week. Rinse with a damp
cloth. Make sure that soapsuds don’t get into her eyes. Wash her
body, starting with the chest. After washing with a soapy washcloth,
rinse the washcloth and rinse her off. Pat your baby dry with a bath
towel. Always keep her covered and warm when she is wet.
