Baby Care Information
So, you have a baby. You have been preparing for this moment for a long period of time, but now you realize that there are so many things that you don't know. And sometimes you even afraid to hurt your child while giving him/her a bath or decide to cook something for your little baby. So, at this article we are going to tell you about the tips for safe bathing.

You should give a bath to your child not less than two times a week. Don't leave your child in a bath alone even for a minute, because he/she may drown even in several inches of water. So, if you need to answer telephone call or door bell, take a child with you.

Don't put a child in the bath if the water is still running. It may change its temperature, so be cautious. By the way, the bath water should be warm enough, about 90-100 degrees F as well as the bathroom itself (about 75 degrees F). Your little sunny may get chilled very quickly. The surface of a tube is too slippery, so put a special mat or a towel in it every time you are going to give a bath to your child. If you are not sure that choose the temperature of water correctly, you may buy a special bath. There are several spots which indicate that the water is too hot or cold, while you are filling a tub.

Don't fill a tub more than 2 inches high for children up to 6 months and waist-high for older babies in sitting position. Teach you child to sit, but not to stand, in a tub. Different shampoos and soaps may dry your child's skin, so use them separately. Don't leave your child sitting in a soap water for a long while. It may irritate the urethra and lead to different urinary tract infections. So start from the games and calm your child, then wash his/her body, eyes, ears. Afterwards take him/her out of a tub, wrap in a towel and start to wash his/her head with shampoo, trying to avoid eyes.

Don't lay your child in a crib just after the bathing. It is so incredible adventure for him/her. So, stay with your baby for a while till he/she calms down.

And the last thing. Of course, we all know about this, but I want to remind you one thing. Keep hair-driers and other electric appliances away from the tub.
