The first bath is always the sweetest 🥰🥹🧼🛁🫧👶🏽🍼 With this being my 5th baby, here are a few tips to make this moment as relaxed and enjoyable as possible for baby (and you!) 1. Feed/Nurse your baby right before you strip them down 2. Keep them wrapped up in a towel or muslin cloth in and outside the tub because they don’t like being cold and still need help regulating their own body temperature at this newborn stage! 3. If you’ve got some breastmilk pumped, add it to their bath water! It’s great for their skin 😊 4. Skip bubble bath and any heavily scented skincare products. Simple natural fragrances like chamomile/lavender are good because they have soothing properties but you want to be very careful as baby’s skin is sensitive and still learning how to accommodate the outside world! 5. Give baby a nice massage to help them relax and also stretch out their limbs! 6. Be ready to nurse/feed right after baby is dressed and be prepared for them to get some GOOD GOOD sleep 🥰💤 newborntips postpartum newborn LTKBaby LTKmomlife
