How to Bathe and Dress a Baby – Step-by-Step Guide#motivation #health #facts
Hello viewers, welcome to Healthy Lifestyle Channel
🧼 Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, have everything ready and nearby:
A baby bathtub or a clean sink
Mild baby soap and shampoo (optional)
Soft washcloth or sponge
Rinsing cup or container
Hooded towel
Clean diaper
Baby clothes
Baby lotion and cotton balls (optional)
Safety Tip: Never leave the baby alone near water—even briefly.
🌡️ Step 2: Prepare the Bath Water
Fill the tub with 2–3 inches of warm water (about 37–38°C or 98.6–100.4°F).
Test the water with your wrist or elbow to ensure it's warm, not hot.
Make sure the room is warm and free of drafts.
🛁 Step 3: Bathing the Baby
💧 If your baby still has the umbilical stump:
Give a sponge bath on a soft towel.
Use a wet, warm washcloth to gently clean the face, then the body.
Avoid getting the umbilical area wet.
Clean the diaper area last.
If the umbilical stump has healed:
Hold the baby securely and gently lower them into the water, feet first.
Keep their head and neck supported with one hand.
Use a washcloth to clean the face without soap.
Use mild soap on their body if needed—arms, legs, neck, and diaper area.
Rinse gently using a cup or clean washcloth.
After a quick rinse, carefully lift the baby and wrap them in a towel.
🧴 Step 4: Drying and Optional Skincare
Pat baby dry gently, especially in skin folds.
You may apply a light baby lotion if desired.
Use a clean, damp cotton ball to wipe around eyes and ears (no cotton swabs inside ears).
👕 Step 5: Diapering and Dressing
Lay the baby on a soft surface.
Put on a clean diaper, avoiding any irritated areas.
Dress baby in soft, comfortable clothes—like a onesie or sleeper.
Start with the arms, then legs. Fasten any buttons or zippers gently.
✅ Extra Tips:
Keep the baby calm by talking, singing, or maintaining eye contact.
Bathing 2–3 times a week is usually enough for young babies.
Use non-slip surfaces and keep a firm grip—wet babies are slippery!
