Bath time can become one of the sweetest parts of the day when it feels safe and unhurried.

Keep it gentle:

• Use lukewarm water and support baby's head at all times
• Choose a mild, tear-free wash
• Pat dry and moisturize while skin is still slightly damp
• Wrap up in a soft hooded towel right away

Two to three baths a week is often enough for newborns unless they need a clean-up sooner. Soft towels, gentle lotion, and a supportive bath cushion turn the routine into a calm bonding moment.
