Baby Bath Time Safety Tips

1. Prepare everything you'll need for Baby's bath time.

Create a checklist:

A. Hooded Towel F. Bath Toys

B. Baby Bath Tub G. Lotion

C. Wash Cloth H. Diaper

D. Shampoo for Babies I. Wipes

E. Baby Body Wash J. Clean Clothes

2. Fill your baby's tub to an appropriate level and always check the water's temperature. It shouldn't be too hot or too cold. Warm water is best for baby.

3. If you're bathing Baby in the bathroom, try closing the door to keep in the warmth so they don't get the shivers after bath time. Its even recommended that you turn the thermostat up a couple of notches, just during bath time.

4. Keep everything you'll need after the bath right in the room where you'll be bathing your baby. That means a towel, diaper, wipes, lotion and clean clothes.

5. NEVER EVER EVER leave Baby unattended!!!! Always keep an eye on your baby while bathing, don't leave for a phone call, the front doorbell or for any other reason! Babies can drown or hurt themselves in a spilt second, so don't EVER chance it.

6. Make sure that when you take your baby out of the tub, that you have a good grip or else Baby can slip out of your hands.

7. Make sure that you have a flat and secure surface to put your baby onto afterwards. Wrap baby up in a hooded towel and pat dry.

8. Lightly lather Baby up in some sweet smelling lotion and quickly dress your baby with cozy clean clothes .

9. Most importantly...ALWAYS MAKE BATH TIME FUN FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY!
