Babies should be bathed with great care and in accordance with certain rules. It is important to control the temperature of the water, use only high-quality bath products and monitor the position of the baby in the bath.
Instructions
Step 1
The baby should have its own bathtub. It is extremely contraindicated to use it for other purposes. For example, you should not soak, wash, or store laundry in a baby's bathtub. It is recommended to bathe children up to six months daily, so the bathtub should always be clean.
Step 2
The optimum water temperature for bathing is 37 degrees. If the liquid is too hot, the child may get burned, if cold, it may catch a cold. It is necessary to control not only the temperature level in the water, but also in the room. If the room is cold, it is best to use a heater to create optimal conditions.
Step 3
Before bathing, the bath must be washed with soap, it is not recommended to use cleaning agents. After each bathing, the container is also treated with boiling water to destroy harmful bacteria and microbes.
Step 4
If you are bathing a child with potassium permanganate, you should carefully examine the water. The substance must be completely dissolved. Even the smallest particles of potassium permanganate can injure a baby. The amount of water should be poured into the bath so that the child's neck remains outside of it.
Step 5
Bathing children under one year old with washcloths is also not recommended. Baby's skin is very delicate, and poor quality material can cause irritation. It is better to apply bathing products with your hands. In addition, children's clothing must be prepared in advance, if necessary, it must be warmed up on a battery.
