The first baby bath is a huge challenge for parents. Sometimes in your desire to do everything perfectly, you forget that bathing should be a pleasant experience for both the baby and you. Still not sure how to cope and how to make the soapy experience better?
For a successful bathroom exprerience, parents arm yourself with patience, lots of smiles and all the necessary accessories. It's not that scary! Baby Crema experts will give you a recipe for safe and fun bathing in 5 simple steps.
Preliminary preparation prevents the failure of the performance. This rule applies as soon as the time for the baby's bathing comes. We recommend that you have everything at hand for a successful bath experience. In addition to a changing table at home, the simplest board will also work. Cover it with a soft mattress and put nylon and the baby's favorite cotton towel on it. Prepare a pillow, pad or lounge chair to create more comfort for your baby while in the water.
The pillow imitates swinging, which will reduce crying and fear of the bath. In this way, bathing will be pleasant and comfortable, like a game before bedtime. Arm yourself with your favorite cosmetics and let the baby toys be around too. Several cotton pads and an ampoule of saline are also needed.
Wondering if it is easy for a child to overcome the fear of water? If the baby screams deafeningly, turns red and roars, do not worry, because this is a period that many children go through. However, there are a few tricks to fool the little one and show him that it's not so scary. The most important thing is the moment you choose for the bathroom. Experts recommend that this happen in the evening, before the last meal and bedtime. The bathroom should serve as a method of calming and relieving stress.
The transition to bathing should be smooth. Run the water beforehand to get the baby used to it and the noise it makes. Play with the bath toys before putting the child in it. Let it get used to the atmosphere of the room you are in, as well as delight in the game. That way it won't know when it all started.
This is also the time when parents need to incorporate their artistic skills. Babies love to listen to their parents' voices. If you are singing and making funny faces, the baby will laugh, be distracted and forget about the upcoming bath. Thanks to these calming techniques, not only will you make bathing pleasent, but the bathroom will also become a ritual to strengthen the bond between mom, dad and baby.
Despite all your efforts, it is still possible that the baby does not enjoy his bathing experience the first few times. So bathe the baby under running water in the sink. By the time the child understands what you are doing, you will be done.
You need to be careful not only with the water temperature, but also with the air temperature. In the room you need to maintain about 23-24 degrees Celsius, and you must have pre-heated the room. However, the child will spend some time there naked, and we all know how fragile the immune system of a newborns is. You should not allow prerequisites for colds.
For water temperature, it is recommended that its better to be warm rather than hot. The ideal water temperature for happy baths is considered to be a temperature slightly above that of the child's body temperature, about 38-39 degrees. Don't make room for mistakes and buy a bath thermometer.
Although we know how pleasant and magical a bathing experience can be during the time spent in playing wet games, the procedure should not last more than 10 minutes, because the water is small in quantity and cools down quickly.
The time spent in the bathroom is not just to have a clean baby at the end. It is the time when you build mutual trust, create playful memories and strengthen the inviolable bond between you. Therefore, you must understand that when you bathe the child, you are the most tender touch. Here's how to complete this gentle experience step by step!
Start with the face. You can do this while the child is still dressed, so as not to be afraid of being naked and cold.
Moisten a cotton swab with water from the saline ampoule and wipe the eyelids from the outer corner inwards. Use a separate cotton ball for each eye. With another damp cotton swab, clean around the nose.
Ear cleaning should not be forgotten. Using a cotton swab or towel, clean the outside of the baby's ears and behind the eardrum. It is strictly forbidden to use ordinary earbuds for internal cleaning, as the stick can pierce their eardrum. Special earbuds for babies are a necessity.
To wash your hair, hold the baby by the breast under the arms so that his head is tilted down. Gently moisten his head with warm water and apply 1 to 2 drops of baby shampoo with your hand and rub gently. It is important to dry your head with a towel immediately afterwards so that water does not get into your eyes.
It is time for the baby's body to be washed. The main areas to focus on are the neck, because during breastfeeding the milk drips and collects there, the hands and the area between the fingers, because babies get to know the world by touch in the first months, and of course the area around the buttocks and genitals.
Once you're done, it's time for the soft towel in which you will wrap the baby. Be sure to moisturize your baby's skin with baby oil and apply anti-chopping cream before putting on the diapers.
"Look for products that are free of perfume or colorants that can irritate sensitive skin," says parents' counselor Dr. Ari Brown. We also recommend that you find cosmetics that will combine care from head to toe in one step. Bathing the baby in the first months includes hair and body. Therefore, use a product with combined cleansing functions and a gentle formula with a balanced pH level. To make it easier and more enjoyable for the baby and you.
