In this blog, we share must-have newborn bath time essentials for his first bath that make you feel well-prepared and confident for the occasion.

1. Bathtubs for Newborns

Bathtubs for newborns will be a very important accessory- if not absolutely a must-have for a baby's first bath. A newborn bathtub is designed in such a manner that it provides the maximum safety and comfort of bathing for your baby. These tubs have a reclined shape or supportive cushion for safely propping your baby up so they are not entirely submerged in water. Some tubs even feature a sling or net supporting babies during bath time.

2. Very Mild Tear-Free Baby Soap or Body Wash

On soft, supple, sensitive newborn skin, it is very appropriate to use the mildest, tear-thereabouts, and non-harsh chemical-added baby soap or body wash; as much as possible baby-friendly, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free-and of course, made for babies. A natural mild baby soap will clean but not strip your baby's skin of natural moisture. Most parents like to use natural ingredients in baby washes, such as chamomile or aloe vera, which help keep the soothing and highly moisturizing properties of the baby's skin. Products ' chemical fragrances and artificial dyes are on the avoidance list as they may irritate sensitive skin.

3. Soft Baby Washcloths or Sponges

Soft, gentle wash cloths or sponges at bath time are very important for your newborn. It requires the utmost care; rough or abrasive material will only irritate. Soft cotton or bamboo washcloths should be bought, as they are both absorbent and soft. Use a few to wash your baby's body parts while bathing, and leave a couple for backup.

Baby bath sponges are another option; these are soft, easy, and very nice for washing your baby. Opt for sponges explicitly designed for babies, which would be gentlest and generally for sensitive skin.

4. Hooded Baby Towels

Hooded towels wrap the little one comfortably after bath time and are great for quick drying so he won't get an awful cold. The hood covers his head, keeping him dry and warm while gentle pats are given. Look for something soft and absorbent, whether cotton or bamboo and then you can be sure they will not harm your baby's sensitive skin. For instance, some towels come in cute designs; baby towels with little ears on the hood make it even more fun for post-bath time.

5. Baby lotion or moisturizer

Dehydrated skin becomes apparent after bathing by being exposed to water; in fact, this is the baby's skin. Once the baby bathes, one should use baby lotion or moisturizing cream to ensure soft and hydrated skin and skin protection. Choose a gentle and fragrance-free preparation designed for sensitive skin types. Baby lotions that have the goodness of natural ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, or aloe vera soothe skin.

6. Baby Nail Clippers or Files

You don't wash your newborn baby within the first two to three weeks, but you should keep baby nail clippers or files handy. Generally, more often than not, newborn babies have sharp little nails that tend to scratch their tender skin, especially during the early weeks when these babies discover their hands. Baby nail clippers have smaller cutting edges with rounded tips, which help carry out the procedure safely and efficiently for small-sized nails.

7. Soft Baby Bath Brush 

Soft baby bath brush also becomes an essential supplement to your bath regimen since it purports to scrub your baby's scalp. Soft bristles of baby head brushes can massage the head and help prevent cradle caps wherein scaly patches develop on the head of the baby. Look for a brush that will have natural or synthetic bristles that are specifically designed for babies. Gentle enough not to irritate, yet strong enough to clean the scalp and strand. This brush could also be soothing with just the right measure to give your little one extra relaxation while bathing.
