New mothers often feel uncomfortable by giving their new baby to take a shower first. You cannot blame them because children are more fragile for the first few months of their lives. In fact, there are several accidents reported when bathing the baby. Although this instance is very isolated, this experience can be traumatic for mothers and children.
When it comes to your baby, you need to remember some important facts so you don't sacrifice your baby's safety. By paying attention to some pointers, you will be able to breathe easily because you will eliminate the risks involved during bathing time. First of all, you have to be there at any time. Never leave your child alone, even just a few seconds. They are too young to lift their bodies, and if there is something that exhales them, they will not be able to do much about it.
When your baby first comes home, there should be no reason for you to be less cautious. Many of these accidents occur even if parents exercise very carefully. Bathroom time is the time to keep your eyes and ears open to do everything to ensure their safety so that it can be a more pleasant experience for both of you. You have to check their environment for any danger, and even though they have not been able to achieve anything, you know you will not rest until everything is safe. When you first take them to the bathtub for their first shower, you want to make sure to take everything slowly. The last thing you want is to surprise it. Take this opportunity to introduce a bath as a fun activity that you and your child have. It is time to bind, and you can only do this if your child learns to enjoy it. It is important to always remember that safety comes first.
You always need to watch your baby. No matter what the interference is, take this time to be with them, and only them. When you insert a toy in the bathtub, make sure this is big enough so they don't strangle it. Make a circle with a thumb and index finger. If the toys can fit through the hole, then it might cause danger. You also need to consider the water you put in the bathtub. Make sure you set the temperature correctly. If it's too cold, this can surprise it. If it's too warm, they can burn. The key here is to make it right.
You also need to remember that it is really possible for your baby to sink in shallow water. When choosing a bathtub, something with a rubber surface can help prevent them from slipping. Even so, you have to hold them at all times. Rubber or not, they can still fall. To make everything easier, make sure their clothes and towels are easy to reach so you don't need to walk away from the bathtub just to make it dry. In essence, this time it can be the most useful experience for you if you only practice extra care.
