Baby Bathing And Skin Care

What are key safety tips for bathing my baby?

One way to bathe your baby safely is obviously first to make sure that your water heater's set at the right temperature. You check the temperature before your child is immersed in the water. Number two is bathe the baby in a smaller basin so that you have control over how much water's there and your child's sitting there, and that you stay with them at all times. You're going to have to support their head and neck because they won't be able to hold it up, obviously as an infant when you're bathing your baby. It is OK, and people always get worried, if water gets in the baby's ears while bathing, and it's fine if water gets in their ears. This doesn't cause infections. It actually may actually help get some of the wax out, but don't worry about it if a little water gets in the ears while bathing. It doesn't hurt you. It doesn't hurt them.
