When you are a new parents, bathing baby for the first time can be a really nerve wracking experience with lots of things to think about all at once – is the water the right temperature, how do I hold baby, will they get upset and stressed? It's a juggling act!

There are things you can do to take away some of the stress and worry.

* When you and baby are ready for bathtime make sure you have all the essentials within arms reach before you start – towel, baby shampoo, nappy, clothes and any creams or lotions you may like to use.

* Place your baby bath on a flat, secure surface (preferably a waterproof space especially if you have a bouncy baby who loves splashing ). Make sure you are in a room that isn’t too cold

* The ideal water temperature to bath your baby is 36.4 degrees Celsius which you can check with a bath thermometer before setting baby into the bath.

* Place baby into the bath and let them get used to the water before washing them. Maybe pour some water over their shoulders and chest to warm them up.
When washing baby start with baby’s face and ears, working down to neck, shoulders, elbows, fingers, knees and toes. Be careful not to miss any of those delightful baby creases or between fingers and toes.

* After bathing gently pat baby dry, and again be careful not to miss any creases/folds of skin where moisture can gather. Bathtime should be at a time of day when both you and baby are most relaxed. For some people this can be before bed as it can create a calm and relaxing atmosphere, but if another time of day works better then its best to just go with the flow.
