|-
|00:32
| All new parents are anxious about how to bathe a newborn.

|-
|00:37
| Lot of care must be taken while bathing the baby.

|-
|00:42
| One wrong step can harm the newborn a lot.

|-
| 00:46
| Before we begin, it is important to know: The safety tips to be followed before bathing a baby -

|-
|00:54
| The mother or the family member- should always have clipped fingernails before touching the baby and

|-
|01:02
| should not wear any rings, bangles or watches.

|-
|01:07
| This will reduce the chances of injury to the baby.

|-
| 01:11
| So, when to give a baby its first bath?

|-
|01:16
| Mother can start giving a sponge bath to the baby after 48 hours of delivery.

|-
|01:22
| Remember that only sponge bath should be given until the umbilical cord falls off.

|-
|01:29
| Once the cord falls off - the mother or any other family member can start giving regular bath to the baby.

|-
| 01:38
| However, in case a baby has low birth weight then -

such baby should be given sponge baths until it gains weight up to 2 kilograms.

|-
| 01:49
| Let us see how sponge bath is given.

|-
|01:53
| Before starting, ensure that- The room should be warm enough with closed windows.

|-
|02:00
| Keep a very soft, clean, small cloth ready before giving a sponge bath.

|-
| 02:07
| The baby should be placed on a safe, flat surface.

|-
|02:12
| The floor would be the safest one.

|-
|02:15
| Do not keep the baby on a high platform.

|-
| 02:19
| The temperature of the water for bathing should not be more than 37 degrees celsius.

|-
|02:26
| Mother should check the temperature of the water using her elbow or wrist.

|-
| 02:32
| During bathing, first, use soapy water for cleaning.

|-
|02:37
| To make soapy water always use any mild, colourless and odourless soap or baby soap.

|-
|02:45
| Then, use clean water to remove the soap.

|-
| 02:50
| Dip the small, soft cloth in water and squeeze out excess water.

|-
|02:56
| Now wipe the baby’s eye from the inner corner to the outer edge.

|-
|03:02
| Do not use the same cloth for wiping other body parts.

|-
|03:06
| Always use a fresh and soft cloth to clean other body parts.

|-
| 03:12
| Also, do not forget to clean creases -

under arms

behind the ears

|-
|03:18
| around the neck

between fingers and toes and in the genital area.

|-
| 03:25
| Now that we have discussed what is sponge bath let us learn about regular bath.

|-
| 03:31
| Please remember - Regular bath should be given to all healthy babies after the umbilical cord falls off.

|-
| 03:39
| During a regular bath, if you are using a bathtub - First, fill the bathtub up to 2 inches with soapy water.

|-
|03:48
| To make soapy water always use any mild colourless and odourless soap or baby soap, as explained earlier.

|-
|03:58
| Keep another tub ready which contains fresh water.

|-
|04:03
|Then, check the temperature of the water with your elbow in both the tubs.

|-
|04:09
| After you are satisfied with the temperature of the water - very carefully place the baby in the tub which contains soapy water,

ensuring that the head is supported always.

|-
|04:22
| Do not add extra water when the baby is already in the tub.

|-
| 04:27
| To begin with, First, wash the baby’s head by using odourless and colourless baby shampoo or soap.

|-
|04:35
| Then gently wash away the soap with fresh water.

|-
|04:39
| Next, clean the rest of the body along with the creases and nappy area

which is the most contaminated.

|-
|04:47
| In the end, gently wash the rest of the body with fresh water.

|-
| 04:53
| On the other hand - If the mother or caregiver wants to give bath to the baby in the traditional Indian method then - sit on the floor by spreading your legs parallel to each other

|-
|05:06
| Then, place the baby on your leg

|-
|05:09
| baby’s head should be near the mother or caregiver’s feet

|-
|05:14
| baby’s feet should be near the mother or caregiver’s abdomen

|-
|05:20
| Now the baby is in the correct position to be bathed.

|-
| 05:24
| After bathing, dry the baby immediately using soft and clean towels.

|-
|05:30
|Remember to dry the creases as explained earlier.

|-
| 05:35
| Also avoid using talcum powder or baby powder.

|-
|05:40
| Baby powders may cause breathing difficulties in newborns.

|-
|05:45
| Never use surmaa or kajal in the eyes.

|-
|05:49
| Use surmaa or kajal may lead to lead poisoning and infection in newborns.

|-
| 05:56
| Interestingly, special care must be taken for the babies living in - hilly areas or cold regions.

|-
| 06:04
| For babies in such places-a quick daily sponge bath can be given before the cord falls off.

|-
|06:11
| However, immediately after drying the baby - mother or caregiver must provide skin to skin contact to the baby.

|-
|06:20
|This will reduce the risk of low body temperature in babies.

|-
| 06:25
| Please note that - Shampooing should be done twice a week.

|-
|06:30
| Do not shampoo every day as it will cause dryness of the scalp.

|-
| 06:35
| It might also happen that - A newborn may have crusty patches or scales on the scalp.

This is known as '''Cradle cap'''.

|-
|06:45
| There can be some redness around these patches or the scales.

|-
| 06:50
| Note that - There is nothing to worry about '''Cradle cap'''.

|-
|06:54
|It will go away on its own and does not need to be treated.

|-
|06:59
| Baby oil may help soften the scales.

|-
| 07:04
| When applying the oil, rub only small amount into the scales.

|-
|07:09
| Too much oil may worsen the condition.

|-
| 07:12
| Then, wash the baby's hair with a mild tear-free baby shampoo within an hour or two.

|-
|07:20
| After that, gently brush out the scales an hour later to avoid more build-up.

|-
|07:27
| Never pull the scales as it leads to the sore scalp and further infection.
