- The water should be about 36-37oC and the room about 24ºC.
- A mild pediatric soap should be used and the baby can be washed by hand.
- Baths should be short, 5-10 minutes.
- The baby should be dried in small touches, without rubbing the skin.
In addition, it is important to prepare everything necessary beforehand, as the baby should not be left alone even for a moment.
