Baby baths are a lovely routine for both hygiene and bonding. In the newborn period (until the cord falls off), sponge baths are recommended — cleaning baby without submerging them, just wiping with a damp cloth. After the cord falls off, you can move to tub baths.
General advice: 2-3 baths a week is enough; daily washing can dry out the skin. Water temperature should be 37-38°C (you can check with your elbow), and baths should not exceed 5-10 minutes. Baby should never be left alone — not even for a few seconds. Applying lotion after the bath, especially for dry-skin-prone babies, helps protect the skin barrier.
Turning bath time into a calm, consistent routine supports your baby's sense of security.
