What are some basics that we need for bathing the baby?

It is best to assemble to following items in the baby’s bathing room: a bath lounger for the babe to lie on the bath; some soap-free or 5.5 ph baby-washing liquid; gauze cloth flannels, soft towels, unscented vegetable or nut oil for baby massage and a soft baby hair brush. Other items you may consider would be a bath temperature checker, ideal temp would be 38°C. If you have hot-water thermostats, it is best to turn it down to 50°C to avoid accidental burns. A novel alternative to the ‘lying down’ type of baby bath is the ‘Tummy Tub’ which is a useful solution to a shower-only bathroom. Of course, for small babies, you can always opt to use the kitchen sink.
