I still remember the first time I had to bathe my first child; I had a thousand doubts and he seemed so tiny that I admit I was even a little scared. After 3 years and thousands of baths under my belt, here are my tips on how to enjoy bath time, this very special moment with our baby, and help them relax: - Bath time: I usually bathe the children at 7 in the evening, I think it's the perfect time to start the sleep routine. A relaxing bath, dinner, and then they sleep like logs! 
- Water temperature: The ideal is 37 degrees Celsius. - Use a changing pad: I put the changing pad inside the bathroom, I find it more practical to have it there, so when he comes out of the water I can directly put his pyjamas on him without leaving the bathroom. This way we prevent him from getting cold. 
- Put some toys in the tub: This way you can keep him entertained while you wash him thoroughly, otherwise, they'll surely try to take the sponge from you :). I love the ones from Oli&Carol, a brand that sells eco-friendly toys for babies. - Use a bathtub with a seat for newborns. I have the Luma bathtub and I'm delighted with it. The seat allows you to bathe the baby by yourself, as they stay perfectly upright on their own. And later, when they are older, you can remove the legs and continue using the tub. - And finally, thoroughly dry all parts of the baby and apply moisturizing cream. I always use our organic cotton towels; they are so soft that they don't irritate the skin at all and dry wonderfully. And for the shower, a neutral soap especially for babies. 
And take the opportunity to talk to your baby, cuddle and massage them, so that you can create a very beautiful and special bond. You'll surely enjoy that moment very much! :)
