Bathing you newborn baby for the first time can be a daunting task! You worry that the water will be too hot or cold or that you will mishandle your baby resulting in a stressful time for you both.

As you get more confident, the award-winning apron style Cuddledry bath towels help make bathtime safe and simple. Most babies enjoy bath time but for some it can be upsetting initially which makes any new parents feel fraught, what is meant to be a relaxing time turns into a bit of a juggling act! With the original, organic Cuddledry apron towel, not only do you stay dry but you also have the use of both hands, one to hold baby to you and the other to wrap them snugly into the bath towel, keeping them happy and warm.

Topping and Tailing Tips

You don’t need to bath your baby every day, although it is a good way to relax them as they get a little older and establish more of a routine. Topping and tailing – washing the important bits – is often enough in those early, sleep deprived days!

Choose a time when your baby is awake and contented and make sure the room is warm. Get everything ready beforehand. You’ll need a bowl of warm water, a towel, cotton wool, a fresh nappy and, if necessary, clean clothes.

Hold your baby on your knee or lay them on a changing mat. Take off all their clothes, apart from their vest and nappy, and wrap them in a towel.

Dip the cotton wool in the water (make sure it doesn’t get too wet) and wipe gently around your baby’s eyes from the nose outward, using a fresh piece of cotton wool for each eye. This is so that you don’t transfer any stickiness or infection from one eye to another.

Use a fresh piece of cotton wool to clean around your baby’s ears, but not inside them. Never use cotton buds to clean inside your baby’s ears. Wash the rest of your baby’s face, neck and hands in the same way and dry them gently with the towel.

Take off the nappy and wash your baby’s bits with fresh cotton wool and warm water. Dry very carefully, including between the skin folds, and put on a clean nappy.

It will help your baby to relax if you keep talking while you wash them. The more they hear your voice, the more they’ll get used to listening to you and start to understand what you’re saying.

Happy Bathtime from the team at Just Another Baby!
