Remember to never leave your child alone in the bathtub - remember, alone, in the bathtub

Many mothers often worry about bathing their baby, either because they are not washing properly, or because they are afraid that they will fall, or that they may hurt the baby with too much force. In fact, once you get the hang of bathing your baby, you'll soon find that it's a fun time. Recently, the French 'Le Figaro' provided us with very practical and detailed advice. Preparation before bathing Keep the temperature of the bathroom: at least 22 degrees Celsius, so that the baby will not catch a cold when he comes out of the bath. Prepare the utensils: Prepare all the necessary things for bathing around the tub and put them within reach, such as diaper pads, towels, body wash, diapers, baby clothes, etc. Thermometer to measure water temperature: put cold water first, then hot water to ensure that the temperature reaches about 37 degrees Celsius. Cleaning utensils: All items placed in the baby's bathtub must be cleaned in advance to avoid contaminating the bath water. The adaptation stage when taking a bath: slowly immerse the baby's body in the water, so as not to quickly contact the water and make the baby uncomfortable; the mother supports the baby's neck with one hand and the ankles with the other; some babies will cry at this time, but this is not the case. Usually it's short-lived, talk to him softly at this point, and it will get better after getting used to the water environment. Body wash and hair wash: When immersed in water, hold the baby's neck with one hand and rinse with the other. In the first few weeks of your baby's life, you need to wash your baby's hair every day to prevent clumps of milk. After three or four months, the frequency of washing your baby's hair can be extended to once every two or three days, and use a baby-specific shampoo, which does not react to the eyes and appearance. Grasp the time: When the baby is fully used to the habit of bathing, you can let him play in the water for a while, stretch his calf, and dance, and the time can be extended to 10 to 15 minutes, but it is worth noting that the water temperature needs to be always controlled at 37 degrees Celsius. After bathing, take care: After washing, wipe the baby with a clean and soft towel, especially pay attention to the moisture between the outer folds, so as not to breed bacteria for a long time. All toys etc. soaked in water need to be thoroughly washed and dried completely to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Important note: As your child gets older, you can change to a larger bathtub, but those supposedly safe bath amenities such as cushions or recliners are not recommended, and a non-slip mat can be placed on the bottom of the bathtub. More importantly, mothers should always remember that they must never leave their children alone in the bathtub, even for a short period of time, there is a greater safety hazard.
