Bath time, especially for first-time mothers is a daunting task. Babies love to splash around in water but there are some rules that must be followed to make sure your baby stays safe in the water. The first and most important is to never leave your baby alone in the bath.
Read on to find out more.
What temperature should
my baby’s bath water be?

Bath water should not be hot or cold but comfortably warm. Put cold water into the bath first then hot water. This will ensure there are no hot spots in your baby’s bath water.
Test the water using your elbow. It should feel warm. Water temperature can change very quickly so never put your baby in the bath while the water is running.
How deep should my
baby’s bath water be?

Baby's bath water should not be more than 5 inches deep. If your baby is sitting in the water, it should not get up higher than their waist. If lying down, the water should just barely cover his or her shoulders.
Never put your baby in a bath with the water running as the depth could rise quickly.
Supporting baby in a bath

Hold your baby firmly under the bottom with one hand as you lower her into the bath. Once your baby is settled, use this hand to support the baby’s head above water. Use the other hand to wash the baby and swish the water around.
Whether or not your baby is using some sort of support in the bath, never turn your back or leave the room, even for just one second. That’s all it takes for a baby to slip and they can easily drown in as little as 3 cm of water.
How often should I bath my baby?

Bath time is fun and relaxing for most children. You can wash your baby as many times as you want.
During the first month, it's perfectly okay to bathe your baby one or two times a week. Wash off any obvious dirt and ensure you top and tail, on non-wash days.
Bath time should be a part of the bedtime routine for older babies. Use a mild cleanser specifically formulated for baby's skin.
