How to bathe a newborn baby

1. Embracing bathing method: wash the face and head first, then wash the trunk and limbs, and finally wash the buttocks. When washing the baby's head and face, the baby's head should be facing forward, and parents should support the baby's shoulders and back with their left forearms, hold the child's buttocks with the left armpit, hold the baby's head with their left hand, and use their thumbs and middle fingers to block the baby's ears from behind to prevent water from entering. Use your right hand to wash your baby's face first (no shower gel is needed), then wash his hair and dry it. Then start washing the trunk, limbs and buttocks. The elbows, armpits, neck and thighs should be cleaned especially.

2. Basin bathing method: Soak the gauze in the bathtub, wring it dry and use it to wipe the face, then take off the clothes, and use the changed diapers or clothes to wipe the buttocks clean; hold the baby's body with a towel, support the armpits with one hand, support the head with the elbow, and support the feet with the other hand, and gently put it into the basin. Make sure to put the buttocks into the water first, let the child half sit in the bathtub, but be careful not to get the navel wet.

When washing, start from the neck and then move to the hands and feet. When washing your baby's back, support the front of the body with one hand, turn the baby over, and wash from the back to the buttocks. Use a baby shower gel that is more oily and less alkaline. Apply the shower gel on a bath towel and then rub it on the baby's body. After washing your whole body, wash off the foam with clean water and gauze.

The temperature of the water should be moderate when bathing the baby. If the water is too hot, it may burn the baby's delicate skin; if the water is too cold, the baby may catch a cold easily.
