How to Bathe a Baby
Assemble two towels, two washcloths, baby soap and shampoo, a clean diaper, clothes and a blanket in the bathroom.
Fill the bathtub with warm (not hot) water.
Wash the head and shampoo the scalp before putting the baby into a tub. Rinse and pat dry.
Lay the baby on the counter and unbundle her. Clean the diaper area with a washcloth before placing her in the bathtub.
Once your baby is in the tub, hold her head in one hand. Wash her body with soap and a second clean washcloth.
Dry your baby well. After dressing her, bundle her in a blanket.
