BATH TIME:

- Nonslip bath mat is ESSENTIAL for safety

- Bath thermometer. Always test the bath water temperature before placing your baby in the bath.

*Tip*

Get a good bath chair. Mothercare do a fantastic ergonomical chair where there is a piece of plastic between the baby's legs preventing your baby from sliding off. Having both of your hands free will help you to bath your baby.

- Sponges for bath

*Tip*

I like to use two different sponges, one for baby's body and one for baby's privates. If you are going to use two different sponges, it is important to get two very different looking sponges so not to confuse. Also replace the sponges every month or so.

- Face washers. Not just for cleaning faces, they are also great to place over the baby's stomach to prevent them getting cold while bathing

- Oilatum. Oilatum comes as oil for the bath and a cream for after. Oilatum is great for dry skin.

*Tip*

I put a few drops of Oilatum in the bath every day to prevent dry skin.

- Bath toys. There are foam alphabet pieces that stick to the side of the bath. You can make words for your baby. Rubber ducks and bubbles are always winners.

*Tip*

Be sure to clean and replace bath toys often as dirty water can get stuck inside and then contaminate clean bath water.

- Disposable bed/change mats for on top of the towel when your baby is minus their nappy. It is much easier to cleanup if there is an accident

- Hooded towel. Babies can be wrapped up snug as a bug.
