Why is bath time important?
Bath time is more than just a time to clean your baby. This time can also be a special time for you and your baby to enjoy each other’s company. A bath at bedtime can relax your baby and help lead to sleep. It is also a good time to check him / her for any new marks or rashes. Until your baby is crawling around and getting messy, you should give your baby a mild soap bath only 3 or 4 times a week. Also, you may give a plain water bath to your baby on other days if he / she is hot and sweaty or just for fun. Remember that your baby’s face, hands and diaper area need frequent cleaning, not just at bath time.
