Preparing a Newborn Baby Bath
This is Vanessa and Andrew on behalf of Expert Village.com and this is preparing your baby’s bath. First things first, you will want to place your bathtub wherever you are going to be bathing your baby. Then you will get your water; bring it to your tub. You are going to want to test your water, make sure that it is just warm to the touch. Fill up your bathtub with the water. If you have one of these swings and you press down the water will not come above the newborn baby’s belly button. It is very important that you don’t get water on that. So you will fill up the tub with the water so that the level is just right. Then you are going to want to fill up that pitcher again so that you have clean rinse water for rinsing your baby. The next thing you want to do is make sure that you have your supplies already in order so that you know how you are going to bathe your baby. Lastly, you are going to take your baby’s clothes and dirty diaper off. Now the bath is ready.
