Bathtime for babies, when done under the right conditions, can be both a cleaning and bonding moment. General pediatric recommendations are:
Frequency: In the newborn period (until the umbilical cord falls off), sponge baths are sufficient — 2-3 times per week. After the cord falls off, daily bathing isn't necessary; every other day or 2-3 times per week is fine.
Water temperature: 37-38°C is ideal. You can check with the inside of your elbow — it should feel warm, not hot or cold.
Room temperature: Should be around 24-25°C, with no drafts.
Duration: Shouldn't exceed 5-10 minutes — staying in water too long can dry out your baby's skin and make them cold.
Water level: Water in the tub or basin should only reach chest height when the baby is sitting.
Safety: Never leave a baby alone in water, not even for a few seconds.
After the bath, gently pat dry with a soft towel and apply moisturizer to protect the skin. If your baby's skin shows redness, dryness, or eczema, reduce bath frequency and consult your pediatrician.
