What does baby need for bath time?
- Infant bath tub
- Baby shampoo and soap
- Several hooded towels
- Cotton swabs
- Baby wash cloths
- Infant-appropriate water toys
What should I have in the changing area?
- A changing surface (either a changing table, the top of a dresser that’s at least waist-high, or just a changing pad that can be put down anywhere)
- Washable changing table covers
- A plastic changing mat to lay on top of the changing surface
- Plenty of clean nappies
- Disposable cleaning cloths. Avoid wipes that contain alcohol
- A soft cloth and warm water to use instead of wipes if baby has nappy rash (try filling a thermos each night to keep warm water easily accessible)
- Ointment or petroleum jelly, for treating nappy rash
- Cotton balls
- A washable nappy pail with a tightly-sealed cover (works well for storing either cloth or disposable nappies)
- A laundry bag or hamper with a lid.
