Before bathing the babies, it is important to prepare all the necessary items ahead:

• Bathtub
• Two face cloths
• Bath towel
• Clean underwear/ clothing
• Diapers
• Clean swaddle blanket
• Baby shower gel
• Baby oil, body lotion, and rash ointment (Optional)
• Wipe and tissue
• Cotton wool ball
• Small bowl with warm/ cold boiled water
• Bin or trash bag

Keep the room temperature between 24 - 26°C and the water temperature at around 38°C. If a thermometer is unavailable, test the water temperature on the inner side of the elbow to ensure the water temperature is not hot. When adding water to the bathtub, add cold water before hot water. Bath the baby before feeding or at least one hour after feeding.
