When a baby is born, taking care of the baby becomes a new task for parents. Do new parents know how to bathe their babies?
When the baby's umbilical cord has not completely fallen off, there may still be some swelling. Every time you change the diaper, continue to clean the area with alcohol. During this time, only occasional cleaning is needed because the baby's body is not dirty. The only area that needs constant cleaning is the genital area, which needs to be cleaned after each bowel movement.
When bathing, pay attention to the temperature of the surrounding environment and keep the baby warm. In addition, prepare a large bath towel, a baby towel, a basin of warm water, cotton balls, baby bath gel, and wipes.
When bathing, take off the baby's clothes first and place the baby on a towel. The mother's hand should always be on the baby. First, wash the baby's face, use a damp cotton ball to wipe each eye, use a soft wipe to wash the baby's face and head, and then gently pat dry with a towel. Then clean the baby's neck, body, and limbs. Don't forget to clean the baby's fingers and toes, as well as the genital area. The baby's hair does not necessarily need to be washed with shampoo, it can be cleaned with wipes. Finally, rinse with clean water, then dry with a towel, and wrap the baby in a diaper and clothes.
