bath time for babies is a joyous activity. most babies enjoy ‘swimming’ in their cute little ‘bath tub’.

there’s even a tip I learned on finding a good babysitter for your baby:  if the baby is calm when the minder bathes her, it’s a yes..otherwise when the baby is restless or even worse crying when bathed, it’s a sign she’s not the one for your baby

babies need their bath everyday. it’s because they sweat and have milk spill on their faces and clothes.

It’s  important to make sure the folds of an especially chubby baby is cleaned as these areas trap dirt and moist, and can irritate baby’s skin. common areas are the neck, armpits, between their elbows and knees, and behind their knees. Another important area to clean is their hands, as babies always clench their tiny hands in a fist, these areas are usually missed during bath time.

We must make sure the baby is well rinsed with clean water before bath time ends. After bathing, it’s very important to let the baby dry well, it’s a good practice to not only pat the baby dry, but to let her air dry before putting on her nappy and clothes.

It’s also a good hygiene practice to clean the baby’s ears (the outer part of the ear) after each bath. remember to always be gentle to your baby and let her enjoy her bath time, and let’s hope the good hygiene will grow on her into adulthood
