4 Simple Steps to Bath a Newborn Baby

Baby bath support supplies that you need to prepare in advance include the following:

• Baby bathtub or basin
• Lukewarm water
• Baby shampoo and body wash/ soap
  
• 2 towels
• Cotton balls
  
• Clean diapers and clothes Ensure your hands are clean with soap and water before handling the baby.

Before bathing, gently clean key areas to maintain hygiene and prevent irritation.

• Eyes: Dip a cotton ball in cooled boiled water, squeeze excess, and wipe from the inner corner outward. Use a fresh cotton ball for each eye.
• Face: Use a damp soft cloth or cotton ball to wipe the forehead, nose, cheeks, and mouth.
• Hair: Support your baby’s head, tilt it slightly back over a basin, rinse with warm water, and dry gently with a soft towel.

Newborns can be bathed in two ways: a sponge bath or a tub bath.
You can introduce a mild, nourishing baby wash like Little Étoile Head to Toe Wash. With 99% naturally derived ingredients, this safety-tested formula gently cleanses and protects your newborn’s delicate skin and hair.

When switching to a tub bath, you might prefer a sudsier shampoo. Then, try Little Étoile’s Head to Toe Bubbly Wash. Made with six coconut-based cleansing ingredients, it moisturizes while washing, keeping your little one’s skin soft and hydrated.

Once your baby is dry, dress them in soft, breathable clothing suited to the room temperature.

If your baby’s skin feels dry, you can apply a gentle, fragrance-free baby lotion like Little Étoile Nourishing Lotion to help lock in moisture. Avoid using baby powder, as it can be easily inhaled and may cause respiratory issues.
