Baby bathing essentials are a bit different in every household.
But there are a few things common in every one of them. Shortly you’ll get to the list of those essentials.
Bath time can be fun for parents too!
Well, as long as they have everything they need.
It’s better to have prepared everything you need for bathing your baby, so you don’t stress.
Here is a list of the things which are crucial for giving a comfortable bath to a newborn.
1. BATH TUB
You should buy a special baby bath tub to wash your baby in until she’s old enough to be bathed in the family bath.
Most baby bath tubs have a special head and back rests to support your baby.
There are also bucket-shaped baths. They allow the baby to be in a fetal positon. Some of them fold flat for storage purposes, others double as scales or can monitor the water temperature.
2. RINSE CUP
It’s important that your rinse cup has a handle, so you can easily and safely rinse the shampoo off from your baby’s head.
3. SHAMPOO & BODYWASH
Make sure to buy fragrance-free ones.
Baby skin is very delicate and sensitive so avoid extra chemicals in their products.
4. BATH TOYS
When your baby is big enough it may be harder to keep her in the bath. Having some toys on hand is a great idea.
There are sooo many toys available today, you just have to pick the right ones. I definitely recommend choosing BPA-free ones. If your baby is old enough to play with toys she probably is teething as well. Buying BPA-free toys will make it safe for her even if she chews on these toys sometimes.
5. TOWEL
A super-fluffy hooded towel is a go to in our household.
While a regular towel works fine as well, the hooded one keeps a newborn extra warm and cozy.
6. NOURISHING LOTION/OIL
It’s important to rehydrate your baby’s skin after a bath. Try to pick some parabens-free products and give your infant a nice calming massage.
I hope this article helps you to pick the right things you need for bathing your baby.
