Question
How long should you generally bathe a baby in winter?
Answer
Under favorable conditions, it is usually recommended to bathe a baby every three to one week. When bathing, the water temperature should be controlled between 38~41 degrees Celsius. It is suggested to bathe 1~2 hours before feeding to avoid triggering vomiting. The bathing order should start from the head, washing the face first, then the hair, and finally the entire body. Pay attention to prevent water from entering the baby’s ears. Cotton balls or soft towels can be used for bathing, and the bathing time should not exceed 5 minutes to avoid the baby catching a cold.
