Question

How should one bathe a newborn?

Answer

Once the umbilical cord stump of the newborn has dried, fallen off, and healed, you can begin using a baby bathtub to bathe your baby. For such a tiny little one, using the kitchen sink or a small plastic baby bathtub is more suitable than a standard bathtub. Many parents enjoy bathing their babies, but in reality, bathing them once or twice a week is sufficient before they start crawling around and causing chaos. When you start bathing a newborn, you might initially feel some anxiety. First, do not let the baby move, then wet the body and apply soap. Practice beforehand, give yourself some confidence, stay calm, and hold the baby firmly.
