BabyPartner checklists: bathing your baby
Washing a baby can be a daunting task for any new parent.
The following tools are designed to make bathing your baby easier and safer. When washing your baby, leave hair until you have finished to avoid giving your baby a chill. Bathing may make your baby cry, but leaving on its diaper the first few times will help give it security and make it feel more comfortable in the water.
