How to bathe your newborn

1. Gather supplies. You will need a bowl of warm water, a washcloth, and a mild, unscented baby soap.

2. Lay your baby down on a comfortable, flat surface. To keep baby warm, wrap him or her in a towel, exposing only the parts of your baby’s body that you wash frequently. For safety, always keep one hand on baby.

3. Start with the baby’s head. Dip a washcloth into a bowl of warm water and gently wipe your baby’s face and scalp. It is safe to gently clean baby’s soft parts. Don’t forget to clean the creases on the neck and behind the ears.

4. cleans the rest of the body。 Add baby soap to a bowl of water and use a washcloth to gently wash the rest of your baby’s body. Make sure to rinse off all soap after cleaning each area.
