Baby Bathtub ~ Baby Bath Essential # 1

You need to make sure the baby tub you are purchasing is convenient for you to use, either on a kitchen sink or in your bathroom. It is advisable to look for BPA-free material with a non-skid mat on the inside. Generally, baby tubs do not have sharp edges, however, it is best to look for such details before you purchase one for your baby. Safety before Sorry! Also, make sure there is enough room for the baby to grow over time keeping in mind the baby won’t remain small for too long. Besides these important points, you need to make sure the tubs are easy to clean and are not second-hand products. If you’re someone who likes changing the bathing atmosphere for your little one now and then, go for a portable baby tub which is simple. The simpler, the better, and easier to use in the long run.

Baby Bath Cup ~ Baby Bath Essential # 2

This is the cup used to pour water over the baby’s body, remember, do not pour water without proper precaution over the baby’s face especially during 0-2 months. Be very careful in the ways and wonts you pour water over the little one. While purchasing a rinsing bath cup, you need to make sure the material is PVC and Phthalate free. Look that it has a proper handle for you to use easily and it will be an added advantage if it has a faceguard to keep water out of the baby’s face. Apart from these features, the design of the bathing cup matters big time. If it is something interesting like a whale designed or any other water-animal shaped, it would make the whole bathing experience a lot more fun and educationally entertaining for the baby.

Baby Bath Wash ~ Baby Bath Essential # 3

Another important element for the successful completion of a baby’s bathing task is baby shampoo or baby wash. You need to make sure the one you purchase is both, a shampoo and a body wash just like Aveeno Baby. This will be more convenient and easy to use. Choose a simple product by carefully reading its instructions. Just because it is a well-known brand does not mean it is good for the baby’s skin. Make sure you choose a product that has a no-more-tears formula as well as is gentle.

Baby WashCloth ~ Baby Bath Essential # 4

Wash clothes to clean the baby gently. You need to make sure you have more than 3 wash clothes for the baby because wash clothes are not only used while giving the baby a bath but also when he/she needs dry cleaning due to the spilling of milk or sudden poopsplosion. It is better to go for muslin cloth types instead of cotton since it has been used for centuries and has been proven to be the best fit for a baby’s soft skin.

Baby Hooded Towel ~ Baby Bath Essential # 5

Although many parents opt for a regular baby towel, it is advisable to go for a soft baby hooded towel in order to keep the little one warm after a good bath. The only thing you need to make sure of before purchasing a hooded towel is that it is more absorbent, soft, and definitely not second-handed. Avoid all second-hand products when it comes to babies.
