Gather everything you need: Make sure you have all the essentials on hand before you start your bath. You will need a baby bath, warm water, mild baby soap, a soft towel, clean diapers, and fresh clothing. You might also consider having a soft sponge and a bath thermometer to make sure the water temperature is right.

Prepare the environment: Before placing your baby in the bathtub, make sure that the environment is safe and comfortable. Clean and disinfect the bathtub and the surrounding area. Make sure the room is warm enough so your little one doesn't get cold. Place a non-slip mat at the bottom of the tub to prevent slipping.

Choose the right time: Choose a time when both you and your baby are relaxed and calm. Avoid doing it when your little one is hungry or too tired. A good time may be after a nap or when enough time has passed since the last meal.

Maintain eye contact and speak softly: During the bath, be sure to maintain eye contact with your baby. Speak in a soft, comforting tone to convey reassurance. Singing a song or telling a story can also help him feel safe and relaxed.

Enjoy the moment: Your baby's first bath is a beautiful and unique experience. Don't worry too much about making everything perfect. The most important thing is to enjoy this special moment with your little one and strengthen your affective bond.

I hope these tips help you prepare for your baby's first bath. Remember that each experience is different and your baby may need some time to get used to the water. Don't be discouraged if he seems a little awkward or cries at first. With patience and care, she will soon get used to and enjoy bathing.
