Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, ensure you have all the necessary items within arm's reach to avoid leaving your baby unattended. You will need:
- The Indi Mums Baby Handwash: Our organic handwash gently cleanses and sanitizes your hands before handling your baby.
- The Indi Mums Baby Body Wash: A mild, natural cleanser perfect for your baby’s delicate skin.
- The Indi Mums Baby Shampoo: A gentle, tear-free shampoo enriched with natural ingredients for soft, healthy hair.
- Soft, clean towels: Use these to dry your baby gently after the bath.
- The Indi Mums Baby Floor Cleaner: Keep the floor clean and free from any potential hazards.
- The Indi Mums Baby Bottle Cleaner: If your baby's bath involves cleaning feeding equipment, our natural bottle cleaner is perfect for the job.
- The Indi Mums Baby Laundry Detergent: To keep your baby's clothes clean and chemical-free.
Step 2: Preparing the Bathing Area
Select a warm, draft-free room for the bath. Lay a soft towel on a flat, secure surface like a changing table or a bed. Ensure the room is comfortably warm, as newborns are sensitive to temperature changes.
Step 3: Check the Water Temperature
Before placing your baby in the water, ensure the bathwater is at a safe and comfortable temperature, around 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). To be extra cautious, you can use a baby bath thermometer. Always add cold water first, followed by warm water, to avoid any accidental burns.
Step 4: Undress Your Baby
Gently undress your baby, leaving the diaper on, and wrap them in a soft towel or blanket. This will keep your little one warm and secure while you prepare the bath.
Step 5: Use The Indi Mums Baby Handwash
Wash your hands thoroughly with The Indi Mums Baby Handwash before touching your baby. Our organic handwash, enriched with the goodness of "Soapnut" or "Reetha," ensures that your hands are clean and free from harmful chemicals.
Step 6: Time for a Soothing Bath
Carefully place your baby in the water, supporting their head and neck with one hand while using the other hand to gently bathe them. You can use a soft washcloth along with The Indi Mums Baby Body Wash to cleanse your baby's skin gently, ensuring hydration and nourishment. For your baby's delicate scalp, The Indi Mums Baby Shampoo provides a mild yet effective cleanse, keeping hair soft and tangle-free.
Step 7: Clean and Sanitize Baby Items
If you're using any baby equipment during the bath, such as toys or feeding equipment, make sure they're cleaned and sanitized beforehand using The Indi Mums Baby Bottle Cleaner.
Step 8: Rinse and Dry
After a gentle bath, lift your baby out of the water and wrap them in a warm towel. Pat them dry softly, paying extra attention to skin folds to prevent any moisture buildup.
Step 9: Dress Your Baby
Put on a clean diaper and dress your baby in fresh, comfortable clothes, washed with The Indi Mums Baby Laundry Detergent.
