The Ultimate Baby Bath Time Essentials Checklist

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by Emma Radebaugh

You want your baby to stay healthy and clean, but the prospect of scrubbing and cleansing their tiny, delicate bodies feels daunting. Fear not—there is a whole host of great products and materials available to make the most of your baby’s bath. Discover the ultimate baby bath time essentials checklist and get your child clean and ready to cuddle.

Gentle Soaps

The most important thing you can do for a baby is care for its sensitive skin. Adult soaps often contain heavy metals and chemicals that a baby’s skin cannot handle. Be sure to find gentle soap specifically adapted to the baby’s needs.

Soothing Bath Mixes

Whether you enjoy a nice bath bomb and soothing music or not, your baby just might benefit from the mix of herbs. Try a DIY herbal bath for babies using flower petals and buds that will nourish their skin and soothe their bodies.

Cotton Washcloths

Just like soaps can harm your child’s skin, so can scratchy brushes or loofas. While these are perfect for cleaning pores on an adult, little babies can’t handle firm bristles or rough plastic fibers.

Instead, scrub your child with a cotton washcloth. The soft woven loops will remove dirt and grime from their bodies while massaging their skin rather than scraping it.

A Pouring Cup

You can’t place your child under the power of a spraying shower. In its place, use a pouring cup to gently wash your child with water. This way, you can control water volume, speed, and cleanliness.

Bath Toys

Bath toys are a must for older babies and small infants. Without these aids, you could face a fussy, restless child. Make bath time a fun and exciting experience for your baby with age-appropriate bath toys.

 

Soft Hooded Baby Towels

Baby towels, like baby washcloths, have specially woven material that will delicately wrap around your child’s skin. Soft hooded baby towels are the perfect, non-abrasive option for drying off their tiny bodies.

The hood helps you dry their head and face without poking and scrubbing too hard.

With the ultimate baby bath time essentials checklist in hand, you can conquer your baby’s bath time. As you become more comfortable with bathing them and they grow used to the water, you should find more ways to make bath time a fun and memorable activity.
