SAFE STEPS TO

TUB BATHING

1

Fill a basin with 5 cm (2 inches) of lukewarm water. Test the water with the inside of your wrist or elbow.

2

After undressing baby, place him/ her immediately in the water to avoid getting chilled.

3

Guide baby slowly into the water, feet first. Support the head and keep the neck above water level.

4

Keep baby warm by gently and frequently pouring warm water over the body, especially the shoulder area.

5

Wash the body and face with a washcloth. Shampoo once or twice a week. Massage the scalp gently, including the fontanelles (soft spots).

6

Cup your hand across the forehead to prevent soap suds from running into the eyes during rinsing. Wipe the eyes carefully with a wet washcloth.

7

Wash baby from top down.
