Bath time can be a great time for you and your baby to bond, and a crucial part of their hygiene as well. Tips for making it easier on you:

Prepare Ahead: Have all your supplies — baby soap, shampoo, towel, clean diaper and clean clothes — within arm’s reach.

The right temperature: The water should be warm, not hot, preferably38°C-37°C (98.6°F to 100.4°F). Use a thermometer, or test with your elbow.

Short and Sweet: Unless your baby has had an extra-messy day, he/she will only need to be bathed 2-3 times a week. Bathing them too often can cause their skin to dry起.

Stay Close: Always keep your baby within arm’s reach in the tub.

Diaper Duty Made Easy

Changing diapers is part of the baby care routine, and it shouldn’t be terrifying. Here’s a way to make the process easier:

Stock Up: Have a designated spot with diapers, wipes and rash cream easily accessible.

Keep a Schedule: Routine diaper checks and changes will help prevent discomfort and diaper rash.

Be Gentle: Wipe your baby’s sensitive skin with sensitive skin-soft hypoallergenic wipes.

Dispose Properly: You’ll want a diaper disposal system to mask odour and help keep the environment clean.
