Preparing Your Baby’s Bath

Plan for your baby’s bath. Get everything ready before you start the
bath. This makes bathing your baby easier and safer.
 If you can, turn down your water heater to 120 degrees. Babies can
get scalded easily. Fill the sink or tub you’re going to bathe your
baby in with warm water. Always test the water with your wrist or
elbow. The water should be comfortably warm, not hot.
 Make sure you have everything you need for the bath. You can
keep mild soap, cotton balls and a clean diaper in a shoebox or
other container. Then you can bring the box in with the towel and
washcloth to the room where you bathe your baby. When
everything is ready, get your baby.
 If you forget an item, you will have to carry your baby with you.
This is hard to do when the baby is wet and slippery.
 Never leave your baby alone in water. It’s best not to answer the
phone or the doorbell during your baby’s bath. If you do, pick up
your baby and carry her with you. If your spouse, relatives or
friends call you often, let them know when your baby’s bath time is.
Tell them you won’t take phone calls at that time.
