Until the age of a few months, babies spend moth of their time in their crib or arms and laps of their loved ones. As a result, they do not get dirty, thus might not need a daily elaborate bath routine. Nonetheless, it is good to keep the babies clean, initially with a sponge bath until the umbilical cord stump falls off, then with relaxing baths followed by massages.
But if, like most parents, you have a million questions and are worried about bathing a newborn without causing any harm or stress to them, here is everything you need to know about how to bathe a newborn baby!
The first bath for newborns can be a little tricky. WHO recommends not giving a bath to babies at least till the first 24 hours after their birth. This will help them get used to the outside temperature first and regulate their body temperature with the new surroundings.
And even after 24 hours, it is not advised not to give the first bath of newborn baby with soap or anything other than just water. It is good to go for a proper massage and bath only once the umbilical cord stump has fallen off. This helps in avoiding any infections to the baby.
A newborn bath routine has a lot of physical and emotional benefits for the baby and the caregiver.
Bathing newborn babies can be very relaxing, but too much bathing can lead to dry and stretchy skin. Bathing kids 2 – 3 times a week is enough to clean their bodies. But if your baby enjoys their bath time, you can bathe them daily.
A 5 – 10 minutes bath is enough for younger kids, as they have sensitive and delicate skin, and elaborate baths can wash their natural oils off their bodies, making the skin irritated.
You do not need many things when it comes to bathing your newborn. But a few essentials that will make this experience easier and comfortable.
As scary as it may sound, bathing your baby is a fun experience that helps you bond with them. So practice, become a pro and don’t forget to end the bath time in a lot of cuddles and giggles.
