Bathing your baby
Bathing your baby for the first time may feel a little scary, but it can also be fun and help you bond.
How often should i bathe my 2 month old baby
All you need is a bit of preparation.
Baby's first bath
When you are bathing your baby for the first time, make sure to get everything ready first.
You will need:
- a baby bath or clean washing up bowl – or you can use the sink
- 2 towels
- cotton wool
- a clean nappy
- clean clothes
Make sure the room is warm before you start as your baby can get cold quickly.
Fill the bath with cold water first, then add the hot water.
Fill it to about 8 to 10cm.
You do not need to use any liquid cleansers – plain water is best for your baby's skin in the first month.
Avoid bathing your baby straight after a feed or when they're hungry or tired.
Bath temperature
Always check the bath water temperature before putting your baby in the bath.
The water should not feel too hot or too cold.
To check this, dip your elbow into the bath water and it should feel the same as your body temperature.
Make sure you mix the water up well so there are no hot patch
