Wrap up bath time with cuddling and other activities, as needed.


Brushing hair
Brush your baby’s hair to make it look nice and to stimulate the follicles. Brushing helps reduce cradle cap, too.

Trimming nails
Trim your baby’s nails after the bath (when they are soft) so she does not scratch her face.

Treating nappy rash.
Watch for early signs of redness so you can prevent a full-blown rash

Cleaning the cord stump.
Clean the cord stump with cotton balls (or swabs) and alcohol until it dries up and falls off.

Fresh nappy
Give your baby a little naked time before applying a clean nappy.

Fresh clothes
A clean outfit will keep your baby warm and make her look adorable.


Caution: be extremely cautions with cotton swabs if you plan to clean your baby’s ears. Only clean the outer part of the ear (what you can see). Do not put the swab into the ear canal. You can do severe damage to your baby’s eardrum if you probe too deeply or lose your grip. Your doctor will examine your baby’s ears and ear canals when you go in for checkups.
