Baby Bath Time Safety Tips

Bathing is an important part of your baby’s development. Here are some tips to keep bath time safe:

Frequency: Wait until the umbilical cord has healed (6–8 weeks) before giving a full bath. Before this, use a wet cloth to clean their skin.
Temperature: Ensure the room is at least 22°C to avoid discomfort. Start with water at a comfortable temperature, up to 38 °C if needed.
Duration: Initially, limit baths to 5–10 minutes to prevent your baby from getting a cold. As your baby grows, gradually extend the bath time.

Never leave your baby bathing alone. Monitor and keep the water warm. Prepare all the essentials and warm the room. Use plain water for the first month instead of bath products [1].

What are the essential baby bath features?

Baby baths are designed with specific features to make them safe and easy to use.

Portable: Many baby baths are foldable or inflatable, making them easy to store and ideal for travel. They can fit inside larger sinks or bathtubs.
Non-slip: Made from non-slip materials, these baths ensure your baby stays secure and the bath itself doesn’t move around.
Plug: Built-in stoppers help regulate water amount and temperature, reducing water waste and ensuring safety.
Temperature Indicator: Some baby baths include a temperature gauge, either built-in or as an accessory, to ensure the water is just right for your baby’s sensitive skin.
Stable Design: Designed to prevent tipping, even foldable baths provide maximum support and stability for your wriggly little one.

Not all baby baths will have every feature, so choose based on what’s essential for you and your baby. Many features can also be bought separately as add-ons.

Is a baby bath seat safe to use?

Baby bath seats offer assistance during bathing, yet they do not function as safety apparatuses. Always ensure that you never leave your infant unattended in a bath seat, even for a brief moment, because there is a risk of them submerging in the water and drowning [2].

What temperature should a baby bath be?

Baby bath water should be warm, not hot. Aim for bath water around 100 °F (38 °C). Warm the room comfortably, too [3]. The ideal temperature is 37–49 °C (98.6–120 °F), close to body temperature. The bath will be warm enough for your baby, but not too hot to burn their sensitive skin.
