Bath time: practical tips for a peaceful time
Among the many opportunities to bond and establish a special relationship with your baby, bath time stands out as a time of intimacy and tenderness between parents and babies. In this short blog, we will explore the importance of bath time for babies and how to make this a safe and enjoyable experience.
Bath time is not only an opportunity to clean your baby, it is also a nurturing ritual that promotes physical and emotional well-being. Warm water can relax tense muscles and soothe them, creating a pleasant environment reminiscent of the comfort of the mother's womb. This intimate moment provides a valuable opportunity to establish a special bond between parent and newborn.
Preparation is essential to ensure a safe and effective bath. Here are some practical tips:
1. Water temperature:
- Check that the water is at a temperature between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius so that it is gentle on the sensitive skin of newborn.
- Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- A towel + glove set specifically for newborns, possibly made from natural fibers to make the bathing routine easier and dry your baby better
- A storage basket to keep everything you need close at hand
- Hooded bathrobe for older children, also made of organic bamboo that absorbs 3 times more than cotton terry cloth
- Always keep one hand on your newborn to prevent it from slipping or falling.
- Find a time of day when it is possible to relax and enjoy bath time without rushing.
- Make sure you have enough time to devote yourself completely to your little one.
As you soak your newborn in warm water, keep in mind that this is a special time of connection. Talk softly, make eye contact and enjoy the experience together. Bath time can become a relaxing ritual for both of you, an opportunity to express love and care through gentle touch and loving care.
