Bath time, an essential moment for your baby

Bath time is much more than just a daily hygiene routine. It promotes your baby's sensory development and strengthens the bond between you. Find out how to make this ritual a safe and enjoyable experience for your little one.

Before the bath: prepare everything for a peaceful moment

1. Heat the bathroom : ensure a room temperature between 20°C and 22°C.

2. Prepare the bath water : Fill the bathtub with water at 37°C, checking with a bath thermometer.

3. Have the essentials within easy reach :

• Soft towel.

• Suitable toiletries.

• Moisturizing creams or specific treatments.

• Clean diaper and clothes (pajamas or daytime outfit).

4. Undress your baby and clean his bottom before putting him in the water.

During bathing: safety and gentleness above all

• Keep your baby safe :

• For infants: Support their neck and shoulders with one hand, and their bottom with the other.

• From 4-5 months: you can use a bath seat for more comfort.

• When he can sit: let him explore the water, but never take your eyes off it, even for a short moment.

• Add a calming touch :

• Pour a few drops of bath oil into the water, evenly distributing it. Caution: This can make the tub slippery, so be careful.

• Use suitable products :

• Choose soap-free cleansers designed for babies' delicate skin.

• If your skin is dry, opt for formulas enriched with moisturizing agents, such as those containing Cold Cream.

• Wash your baby's hair every 2 to 3 days with a gentle shampoo that won't sting the eyes. If you have cradle cap, use a special shampoo.

• Rinse gently :

• With a glass, a bath watering can, a shower head or simply your hand, depending on your preference.

After the bath: care and comfort

1. Dry your baby gently :

• Immediately wrap it in a soft towel.

• Dab without rubbing, paying particular attention to sensitive areas (thigh folds, armpits, neck, feet, etc.).

2. Moisturize his skin :

• Apply a body lotion or Cold Cream treatment to nourish dry skin.

• Take the opportunity to offer him a soothing massage.

3. A touch of freshness :

• Spray a suitable eau de toilette to delicately perfume your body and hair.

Bath time is a special time to care for your baby while strengthening your bond with them. Proper preparation, gentle gestures, and the right products guarantee your child's comfort and safety, making every bath a moment of shared pleasure.
