Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I bathe my baby?
2-3 times per week is sufficient for most babies. Daily baths can dry out baby's skin. Spot-clean face, neck folds, and diaper area daily.
What temperature should bath water be?
Between 98-100°F (37-38°C). Test with your elbow or a bath thermometer. The water should feel warm but not hot.
When can babies use the regular bathtub?
Most babies can transition to the regular tub (with a non-slip mat) around 6-12 months, once they can sit independently.
