Of course, you want to give your little one the best care and attention! Applying lotion, brushing their hair… and bath time! But how often should you actually do that? Because too many baths aren’t good for your baby’s delicate skin either. In this blog, you’ll learn how often you should bathe your baby, and we’ll share some tips with you.
Bathing Your Baby
The natural oil barrier on your baby’s skin is very important for protecting their skin. If you bathe your baby too often, this oil barrier will be stripped away. According to various experts, it’s sufficient to bathe your baby at least once and no more than three times a week.
Of course, when giving your baby a bath, make sure the water is the right temperature (37 degrees Celsius) and that you only use products that are safe for babies. To prevent your baby’s skin from drying out, it’s also important not to leave your baby in the bath for too long. About 5 to 10 minutes at a time is plenty!
Your baby after a bath
And after bath time? Of course, you’ll want to enjoy some quality time with your little one and keep that relaxing feeling going! This often doesn’t work on a standard changing pad, because your baby gets very cold and then becomes fussy and starts crying. Fortunately, there’s a solution these days: a heated changing pad! Wumby has introduced this. This pad reaches the right temperature in just 1 minute, reaching a comfortable 37 degrees Celsius. Using Wumby after a bath ensures your baby stays wonderfully relaxed and happy even after the bath! This gives you plenty of time to dry off, get dressed, and change your baby. But you can also do things like baby massage much more often!
