• Tub suitable for baby.
• Fragrance-free skin cleanser for sensitive skin.
• Baby shampoo (if your baby has hair).
•Soft sponge.
• Cotton towel.
• Fragrance-free emollient for babies.
2. Fill the tub with warm water (approx 38°C/100.4 °F), first test with your elbow that the water is not too hot. Put his feet in the water, most of his body should be above the water so constantly pour water on the part that is not in the water to keep him warm.

Start by washing his head, with the sponge you can distribute the soap (it is not about carving) or directly with your hand distribute the foam, if the newborn have hair the use of shampoo can be used only once or twice a week. Move on to the rest of the body in the same way, making sure to remove any excess of soap.
4. Dry the water well with a cotton towel.
5. Apply a fragrance-free emollient.
