Other Bath Time Necessities
Wrap up bath time with cuddling and other activities, as needed.
* Brushing hair
Brush your baby’s hair to make it look nice and to stimulate the follicles. Brushing helps reduce cradle cap, too.* Trimming nails
Trim your baby’s nails after the bath (when they are soft) so she does not scratch her face.* Treating nappy rash.
Watch for early signs of redness so you can prevent a full-blown rash* Cleaning the cord stump.
Clean the cord stump with cotton balls (or swabs) and alcohol until it dries up and falls off.* Fresh nappy
Give your baby a little naked time before applying a clean nappy.* Fresh clothes
A clean outfit will keep your baby warm and make her look adorable.Caution: be extremely cautions with cotton swabs if you plan to clean your baby’s ears. Only clean the outer part of the ear (what you can see). Do not put the swab into the ear canal. You can do severe damage to your baby’s eardrum if you probe too deeply or lose your grip. Your doctor will examine your baby’s ears and ear canals when you go in for checkups.

If Baby Hates the Bath
Here are some tips for helping your baby enjoy his bath
- Take your time. Rushing the process may make your baby tense.
- Give your baby a massage before, during, or after the bath.
- Make sure the water temperature is comfortable, the bathtub feels secure, and you are holding your baby firmly.
- Give your baby a bath when he is in a good mood.
- Make bath time fun by playing with your baby while he is in the tub.
- Try to make sure the soap does not get in your baby’s eyes.
- Handle your baby gently as you bathe him.
- Get in the tub with your baby.
- If all else fails, finish up quickly and remove him. Reassure him that he is safe. If he continues to hate tub baths, go back to sponge baths for a while, and gradually make the transition to tub baths when you think he is ready.

Moving into the Bathtub
When the cord falls off and the circumcision heals, it is time for a regular bath.
Prepare
Set up the equipment ahead of time so you are completely prepared. Make sure the room is not drafty or cold. (Somewhere between 220C and 250C should be fine). If you are not planning to climb in with your baby, place the plastic baby tub in the regular tub, The baby tub will help control her position and make bathing easier for both of you. If you want, include a body-shaped sponge for extra support.
Add water
Fill the baby tub with a few centimeters of water for the first bath. Add more as your baby gets used to the sensation. There is no need to fill the bath too full, since this can be dangerous for your baby. Make sure the water temperature is comfortable-not too cool and not too warm.
Introduce baby
Place your baby in the tub and chat with her for a few minutes. Dribble water over her arms and legs to introduce the sensation and demonstrate (hopefully) that the experience is pleasurable. Keep an eye on her at all times.
Wash
Use water and mild soap on your baby’s body, but only water on her face. Baby shampoo is not necessary until your baby has good head of hair. Until then, mild soap is fine. Do not forget to pay special attention to the folds and crevices of her body.
Play
If your baby is enjoying her bath, let her spend some time playing in the water. Try to have fun with her during bath time. Besides bath toys, supply her with decorative washcloths, safe kitchen gadgets, and other objects that will make the experience pleasurable. Take her in the big tub occasionally and enjoy some bath fun together.
Wrap up
Wrap your baby in a hooded towel and hold her for a few minutes. Praise her and reassure her. Use a soft towel to blot her dry rather than rubbing her tender skin. Take her to the changing able and let her spend a few more minutes naked, if she is warm and enjoying herself. There is no deed to use lotions or powders after the bath, especially if your baby has sensitive skin. They can cause more harm than good.
