Bathing a child is not only a necessary hygienic procedure, but also a great way of hardening. And swimming in an adult bath contributes to the harmonious physical development of the baby.
Instructions
Step 1
For bathing a baby, many parents purchase a special baby bath. Its main advantage over a large bathroom is that only a child will bathe in it, and it does not need to be thoroughly washed before each bath. In children's stores, you can find bathtubs of different colors, shapes and sizes. In the first months of a baby's life, it is convenient to use an anatomical bath. In it, the child will lie in a safe position and will not slip away when you start washing him. You can also find a tray on a stand on sale. Parents do not have to bend down low to bathe their child in it.
Step 2
The baby bath stand can be purchased separately. Check how stable the resulting structure is before use.
Step 3
To make it easier for parents to wash their baby in a baby bath, they can purchase bathing slides. They are fabric and plastic. What will be more convenient for you and your baby can only be determined empirically. The cost of the slide is on average from 100 to 400 rubles, so if you wish, you can afford to purchase both devices.
Step 4
There are also hammocks for bathing babies. They are attached to the edges of the tub so that the baby does not touch the bottom. The hammock is suitable for washing a toddler who has not yet learned to roll over. On this device, the child will be only partially covered with water, so make sure that the baby does not freeze.
Step 5
For seated children, you can use the bathing seat. It is attached to the bottom of the bath with suction cups, so it does not slip. In this device, the child can sit in the bath on his own for a while, and the parents only have to look after the baby's games.
Step 6
There is much more space in an adult bathtub for a child, and he can swim for 20-30 minutes. But it's hard for an adult to hold the baby in his arms all this time. For swimming, you can use a special circle that is worn around the child's neck. In it, the baby will be able to bathe himself as much as he wants. However, the child must be supervised so that he does not push off the sides or the bottom of the bath and does not hurt himself.
Step 7
You can make your own bathing cap. To do this, sew or glue pieces of styrofoam to the cap around the child's face. In such a hat, the baby will be able to stay on the water without your help. If your baby is over 3 months old, be careful not to roll over on his stomach in the tub. The swimming cap will hold the baby, but the baby's face will be in the water.
