Baby Bath Essentials
Baby's first bath is an exciting and sometimes nerve-wracking time for new parents. Before starting this adventure, it's important to make sure you have all the essentials on hand to make your baby's bath a safe and enjoyable time. This article will present you with a complete guide to the necessary items for the bathroom and some tips for carrying out this daily ritual in the best conditions.
Cadita and Support
Without a doubt, the bathtub is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to the baby's bath. There are a multitude of options on the market, from ergonomic tubs, tubs with a built-in thermometer to check the water temperature, to collapsible tubs to save space. It is essential to choose a stable and comfortable bassinet for your child.
In addition to the tub, the tub stand is an item to consider. This ensures that the tub is at the right level for you, thus reducing the risk of back pain associated with leaning over. It is important to make sure that the stand is sturdy and can support the weight of the full tub.
Water thermometer
Controlling the temperature of the water is crucial in preventing burns and keeping your baby comfortable. A water thermometer is an indispensable tool in this regard. There are a variety of bath thermometers from floating ones, with cheerful shapes that can double as toys, to digital ones for a quick and accurate temperature reading.
Hooded towel
After the bath, the baby should be wrapped quickly so that he does not get cold. The hooded towel is ideal for absorbing water and keeping baby warm. The material of the towel should be soft and absorbent and the size large enough to wrap the baby comfortably.
Shampoo and Soap
Baby's skin is delicate and requires special products without strong fragrances or harsh chemicals. Choose pH neutral, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested shampoos and soaps to avoid irritation and dryness. It is advisable to first test the product on a small area of the baby's skin to check for allergic reactions.
Bath toys
The bath can become a moment of play and relaxation for both the child and the parents, and bath toys add fun and stimulate sensory development. Choose toys that are safe, without sharp corners and that cannot be swallowed. It's also important to keep them clean to prevent mold from forming.
Bathroom organizer
To have everything at hand, a bathroom organizer is extremely useful. You can opt for one that hangs on the edge of the bathtub or one that is fixed to the wall - the important thing is that it is accessible and helps you keep all the products and toys you need in the bathroom in order.
