What You Must Not Do While Giving Your Baby a Bath

They say that the most tiring career is being a mother. Well, partly you can say that it’s true, but at the same time, this is also untrue. It is tiresome indeed, but mothers do what they have to do, no matter how tiring because they love their children. 

Yes, they found joy in ensuring they are well taken care of. If you happen to be a mother, especially, a new one at that, you must agree with me. You must be too protective of your baby right now and you must do anything to keep him safe at all times. 

The thing when you have a newborn is, that you tend to do almost everything for him. Even if you have the means, you would rather be the one to take care of your baby instead of hiring a nanny. You won’t be at peace thinking if your baby is safe, if the nanny is doing the right thing, and so on. 

One of the hurdles of being a new mother is bathing a newborn. Yes, this can be considered a hurdle indeed as it is not easy bathing a little and vulnerable baby. There are so many things you need to watch out for and consider. 

Below are some of the things you must never do when giving your baby a bath:

• Never use a baby shampoo Malaysia that is not from natural ingredients. You see, if you will just buy the baby shampoo from any store, chances are you will end up with one of those shampoos that are incorporated with synthetic ingredients. This might be okay for adults, but we are talking about babies here and synthetic ingredients can be harmful to them. You should take note of that. 
• You must never leave your baby alone even for a minute. If there is something that you forget to prepare and no one can help you, it would be better if you wrap your baby with a towel and bring him along when getting what you forget. This way you can be sure that your baby is safe. 
• You should not use a bathtub that is too big for your baby. You might think this is better as you will have more room for the baby, but that is not the case really. You will surely have a hard time handling the baby when the tub is too big. 
• It is important that you keep your newborn warm at all times. This is why the towel should be ready near you while you are bathing him so you can right away use it to wrap him once you are done. 

Yes, bathing a newborn is not as simple as bathing an older child. You need to be careful since your baby can still easily get affected by his environment. You need to make sure he will not feel any discomfort since he cannot complain.
