Newborn Care
It's Bath Time!
It's bath time! Most babies love a nice bath. It's warm, it's soothing and it's relaxing. And because babies love skin-to-skin contact, bathing offers another great opportunity for warm interaction between you and your little one.
Ten tips for good, clean fun:
1. How often should baby have a bath? Check with your doctor; more than likely, he or she won't recommend a daily bath for your newborn. The frequency depends on your climate, your baby's health, and the time of year. Sponge baths are a good idea until baby is about 6 weeks old. Use warm water and a soft cloth to clean all those baby parts that need special attention
