How do I safely bathe my newborn?

Follow these guidelines to make bathing safe:

    Set your water heater so that the hot water can never come out at more than 48 degrees Celcius. A baby's delicate skin can be scalded in seconds by too-hot water.
    Test the water temperature in baby's tub: Use a thermometer or buy a tub toy that turns a bright colour if the water is too hot. A newborn's bath shouldn't be warmer than 29 degrees Celcius.
    Avoid slips: When baby graduates from sponge baths to a baby tub, your biggest concern will probably be whether or not you can safely hang on to a slippery infant. As long as you keep your eyes and at least one hand on baby at all times, you'll be fine. Don't turn away and leave your child alone even for one single second; babies (and toddlers, too) can drown in any amount of water.
    When you take baby out of the bath, wrap a towel around him to reduce slipperiness.
    Do NOT leave the baby unattended for even a moment! ALWAYS keep baby within arm's reach.(glass prints Cheap Canvas Online Wholesale Photo Prints )
