Bath time can be fun and special time to
share with the baby. But it's time to be very cautious. Keep in mind these tips
for bath time to keep the little one safe while cleaning and fun.
- The first and most important
advice is never leave the baby unattended, even for a little while. Young
children can drown in less than an inch of water. It should have all the
elements at hand, such as soap and towel, in advance. And if the doorbell or
the phone, and you feel you must respond, put the baby in a towel and take it
with you.
- You must ensure that the bath
is comfortably warm. Because babies can gets cold quickly.
- Do not put the baby in the tub
when the water is still running. The temperature could change or could get very
deep water.
- Make the family tub safe. They
can be incredibly slippery so it is recommended to put a rubber mat for safety.
A small cushion can protect your baby's head from painful strokes. Also if you
have sliding glass doors, be sure to be safety glass.
- Fill the tub with only 2 or 3
inches deep for babies up to six months and never taller than waist when
seated, to the largest.
- Teach your baby to sit and not
get in the tub.
- Soap, shampoo and liquid gel can
dry the skin of your baby and can cause irritation, so it is best used
sparingly. They can also cause irritation of the urethra, which can cause
urinary tract infections. So to prevent your baby is sitting too long in water
full of potentially irritating soap, playing with a little start and stop bath
soap and shampoo for last.
