Bathtime

Bath time is a special time for babies, a time for relaxation and play. A whole ritual. Babies are usually washed in the evening, as bathing tires them out. It's recommended not to wash newborns every day, as their skin is fragile, but it's up to you! Some babies sweat, others have sensitive skin. Our essential: a thermometer to check the water temperature (between 35° and 38°C). Use a bathtub adapted to your baby's size and check the water temperature with a thermometer, ideally around 37°C. Use gentle, fragrance-free bath products to respect your baby's sensitive skin. Prepare everything you need in advance: towel, clean clothes and post-bath care. Make this moment a soothing ritual, by talking softly to the baby and playing with him. A well-prepared bath strengthens the parent-child bond and contributes to your baby's well-being.

FAQ - Baby's bath time

How often should a baby be bathed?


It's not necessary to bathe a baby every day. Two to three baths a week are usually enough to maintain good hygiene. However, you should regularly clean areas such as the face, hands and bottom. A daily bath can be useful in hot weather, or if your baby enjoys this relaxing moment. Adapt the frequency to your baby's needs and skin type.


What are the baby bath essentials?


For your baby's bath, you'll need a suitable bathtub, a thermometer to check the water temperature, mild, fragrance-free soap and soft towels. A bath seat or bouncer can come in handy to keep your baby safe. Prepare clean clothes and moisturizing cream for baby's skin after the bath. Make sure everything is within easy reach to avoid leaving the baby alone.


How should I check my baby's bath water temperature?


To check the temperature of a baby's bath water, use a bath thermometer. The water should be around 37°C, the ideal temperature to avoid burning or cooling down your baby. You can also test the temperature with your elbow or the inside of your wrist, which are sensitive areas of the skin. The water should be lukewarm, neither too hot nor too cold.


Which bath products are suitable for a baby's skin?


Choose natural bath products specially formulated for babies, without perfumes, dyes or harsh chemicals. Choose a gentle cleansing gel and a hypoallergenic bath oil. These products gently cleanse your baby's delicate skin without drying it out, and minimize the risk of irritation.


How can I make bath time pleasant for my baby?


To make bath time pleasant for your baby, make sure the water is at the right temperature and the bathroom is warm enough. Talk softly to your baby and use bath toys to distract him. Use gentle, reassuring strokes to wash your baby. Let him play in the water for a while, so that he associates bathing with a moment of pleasure and relaxation.
