The first days with your new baby are some of the most memorable you\u2019ll have. You\u2019re settling into the very first chapter in your life as a parent! From swaddling to sleeping, cuddling to nappy changes, everything is new and exciting. Let\u2019s be honest, it can also be quite daunting and especially to those of us who are not used to taking care of tiny humans.<\/p>\n

One of the most magical milestones you\u2019ll soon reach is your baby\u2019s first bath.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve perhaps imagined this as a blissful, peaceful, and serene occasion. Your opportunity to gaze into your baby\u2019s big, bright eyes as they enjoy a warm, soothing bath.<\/p>\n

So, how can you set yourself up to create a bathtime experience that delivers on that dream? It\u2019s in the planning. Babies need very little when it comes to bath time: the two main essentials being you and water. To help your baby develop healthy skin, it’s not necessary to bathe them every day or to use soap on their skin for the first few weeks.<\/p>\n

To set the stage for a calm and soothing bath time experience, here are the few things you may need:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A BATH – OR BATHING LOCATION – OF YOUR CHOICE<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Your baby\u2019s first bath time experience might not include taking a dip. You might choose to lay your baby on a clean and comfortable blanket or towel and bathe them with a washcloth.<\/p>\n

When they\u2019re ready, you might choose to invest in a speciality baby bath or snuggle up with them yourself in the main family bath. Either way, stay close to your baby and never leave them in the bath alone.<\/p>\n

Baby baths can be a great mobile option to bath them in a room in your house that\u2019s warm and cosy. They can also sit in the main bathtub.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GENTLE SKINCARE TO SOOTHE YOUR BABY\u2019S SKIN<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A baby\u2019s skin is more vulnerable to its environment than an adult\u2019s because its protective barrier is not yet fully developed.<\/p>\n

Gently cleanse your baby\u2019s skin with water or products that are particularly suited to the baby\u2019s sensitive skin. Our baby care products\u00a0have been specifically formulated with this in mind, ensuring we use the mildest and most effective ingredients available.<\/p>\n

You can choose from\u00a0Baby Body Wash,\u00a0Baby Foaming Body Wash and Shampoo\u00a0or our\u00a0Baby Soap\u00a0that\u2019s enriched with\u00a0lavender essential oil, wheatgerm and vitamin E to cleanse your baby all over.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re bathing with your baby or alone later, our range is as gentle and soothing for parents as it is for babies \u2013 and they won\u2019t mind sharing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CUDDLY TOWELS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Keep a couple of soft and cosy towels to hand to use during and after bath time.<\/p>\n

One will be used to wrap up your baby after their bath to keep them warm before dressing them. The other could be used to protect any surfaces (or you) that may get splashed during bath time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NAPPIES AND CLOTHING<\/strong><\/h5>\n

When bath time is over, have a clean nappy and change of clothes on hand to dress your baby quickly.<\/p>\n

Your baby\u2019s bath time is a beautiful bonding occasion for babies and carers and their very first bath is one you\u2019re likely to never forget.<\/p>\n

Over time, your baby\u2019s bath will become a key part of their bedtime routine. It\u2019s a chance to not only clean away the day but also a signal to them that it\u2019s time to unwind and be calm before you pop on their PJs and settle them down for the night.<\/p>\n
