Keeping baby clean is a necessity, but too many baths can dry out baby's gentle skin. Be sure to clean the diaper area thoroughly between baths and 2-3 baths a week is all baby will need.

Baby's first bath may bring a tub full of tears. Comfort baby during this new experience and know it will get easier!

Make sure all bath essentials are together and within arm's reach, as baby should not be left alone in the bath.

Swaddle your sweet bundle in a hooded towel, perfect for keeping baby's head warm right after the bath. Try Gerber bath sets, made of a soft knit terry for super absorbency and softness.

Bathtime is the perfect time for Dad and baby to bond. Plus, the size of Dad's hands may be easier to bathe baby.
