 I asked a few of my girlfriends and my own mum what to do and they filled me in on some tips. For the first month of your child's life bathe them with a leech bath and only use water. Shampoos, body washes and bubble baths can have detergents in them that can aggrevate a newborns skin. always keep the bathroom stocked with what you will need for the bath such as baby bath, wash cloth, lotion, baby q-tips, towel and a diaper. Make sure that bath time is a time when both you and your baby are relaxed. Some babies fear the water so if you are relaxed they will sense that they are safe and start enjoy it. Fill the tub with warm water and be sure to check it with your elbow to ensure that it is not too hot for your baby. It helps if you have a warm bathroom as well so your baby doesn't shiver and become uncomfortable. moderately lower your baby into the water but make sure that you are supporting them throughout, especially their itsybitsy head. Never Ever leave a child of any age (especially a baby) in the bath unattended. If you have to leave the bathroom for any speculate take off your child from the water, wrap them in their warm towel and take them out of the bathroom with you. moderately use the clean wash cloth to clean your baby's face, neck and ears and pat (not rub) them dry. Then clean hands, arms, legs and feet. When washing their bottom and genitals make sure to clean from front to back.  Put a clean diaper on you are all done!
