Bathing your little angel
Having a baby is an everyday challenge. Raising them and taking care of their need in a daily basis is tiring sometimes but it’s rewarding. We want our little ones to stay healthy and clean everyday so we gave them bath and all that. Keeping the little ones clean can also be challenging. here are safety tips in cleaning your baby.
* Gather all supplies first; swirl the water with your hand to check temperature. Before undressing the baby be sure to have it ready all the things you need like the soap,sponge bath, towel, or even clean water to wash him before wrapping him with the towel.
* Never leave babies or children unsupervised in or near water for even a nanosecond. Let telephone call go into voicemail. For their safety, your children need absolute attention. Even if your child can sit up alone, always stay within arm’s reach. I heard or read news or cases like that, leaving thier baby in the bath tub to get out an answer the phone. It’s not safe leaving baby in the water he/she might drown.
* No bath seat allowed. It tips over easily unless theres a safety belt or handle with it.
* Face your toddler away from the faucet so he can’t turn on the hot water. Kids sometimes can be tricky they wanna play everything especially when the water running.
Give sponge baths to babies up to 4 weeks old. This is enough time to allow the umbilical cord to fall off and the navel to heal.
Brightly colored sponges and soaps help make bathing a fun experience.
