The temperature of the baby wash water should be 36-38 degrees. You can use a baby bath thermometer to measure how many degrees the water is. If you don’t have a thermometer, dip your elbow in the water and test whether the temperature of the baby bath is low or high.

Now we will explain step-by-step baby washing techniques. If you watch the video we made about the tricks of baby bathing, you will start one step ahead.

  • Prepare your baby

Before you start bathing your baby, speak to him in a calm and gentle tone. Even if he doesn’t understand what you’re saying, your tone of voice will put him at ease.

  • Have all bath products nearby

Have the products you need in the baby bath, such as shampoo, sponge, towel, at hand.

  • Control the temperature and amount of water

Optimize the baby wash water temperature. It is enough to fill the tub with 4-5 fingers of water.

  • Place your baby in the tub

Gently place your baby, whose diaper and clothes have been removed, into the tub where you have adjusted the water temperature.

  • Hold tight

Hold your baby under the head with your other hand while using your right hand if you are right-handed or your left hand if you are left-handed.

  • Cleanse your eyes first

Clean your baby’s eyes from the inside out with a damp cotton swab or cotton bud.

  • washing the head

When washing your baby’s head, put your hand on his forehead so that water does not get into his eyes. You don’t have to shampoo your baby every time you bathe. Shampooing once or twice a week is enough.

If your head is uncomfortable with being wet, you can wash your body first. In the meantime, you can also wash your baby by holding your baby face down to prevent water from getting into your eyes and ears. But don’t worry; It’s okay if a little water gets into your ears and eyes. Pour the water slowly, be in control, that’s enough.

Let’s even give you some information: A little water relaxes your baby as it will soften the ear secretions.

  • Washing the baby’s back and bottom

Lay your baby forward, hold him firmly under the armpits, wash his back and butt.

  • Don’t forget the folds

Make sure you thoroughly wash the folds under your arms, between your ears, on your legs, around your neck, and around your diaper area.

If your baby is a girl, gently clean between the genital lips. If it’s a man, don’t forget to lift his testicles and clean his underbelly.

  • Dry without rubbing your skin

It will be slippery when your baby comes out of the bath. Wrap your baby in the towel you threw over your shoulder as soon as you get them out of the tub.

You can also wrap your little one by laying the towel on the floor and putting your baby inside. Gently dry your baby, skin is very sensitive, not irritated.

  • Baby massage time

When your baby’s skin is damp, lubricate him with baby oil. It’s time for a massage. Of course, you don’t have to do a baby massage after every bath, but especially if there is a sleep problem, a massage on the bath will make your baby sleepy.

  • Cloth and dress

If you have a rash problem, apply the diaper cream. Put on the diaper and dress up.

11. How do you prevent foam from getting into your baby’s mouth?

Like many mothers, you may be afraid of foaming at the mouth while giving your baby a bath. To prevent this, you should pour the water slowly and, as we mentioned before, cover your baby’s face with your hand.

If your baby has left the newborn period behind and started to take a bath with splashes of water, you should never leave your side to prevent foam from getting into his mouth, and prevent him from putting his face in the tub.

12. How to overcome: fear of bathing in babies

Many babies are afraid of the bath and cry while bathing. If the baby does not want to take a bath and cries when he realizes that he is going to take a bath or when he sees the tub, it is up to him to make this a game that he will love.

In addition, being anxious or stressed creates a fear of bathing in your baby. “Since my mom’s stressed out, so this bathroom thing is a bad thing.” she perceives, cries and is afraid of the bathroom. Calm down).
