Tips for giving your infant a bath

I was visiting a blog called Spearmint Baby earlier today and watched the most beautiful video of a nurse giving an infant a bath. This particular nurse developed a bathing style she calls the Thalasso baby bath or baby spa. Essentially it mimics the warmth and security of the womb, making the baby feel relaxed and at home.



 
 
Here are a few of her tips for bathing your newborn:
 
1. Don’t bathe a hungry baby. They can’t relax if they’re hungry.
2. Let your hands and heart express themselves.
3. Take your time. Ten to 15 minutes is good.
4. Water getting in your baby’s ears and eyes? It’s OK!
5. Enjoy the experience as much as your baby does.
