宝宝洗澡之浴盆篇（Bathtub bath）

July 14th, 2005 Mommy

一旦脐带脱落，就可以用婴儿澡盆给宝宝洗澡了。不过这时候他们一般不会太脏，一周只须洗几次就可以了。

1. Gather your supplies (same as for sponge baths) and fill the tub with a couple inches of warm water — it should be slightly cooler than your ideal temperature, as baby’s skin is more sensitive.

2. Gently lower baby into the tub as you support his head and neck with your arm.

3. Clean his face just like you did when sponge-bathing him.

4. When baby’s all clean, dry him while you’re still sitting, so you don’t have to stand from a kneeling position.

5. Apply lotion once baby’s dry — and breathe deeply.

换大澡盆：
当宝宝可以自己坐起来（大概6个月左右）的时候，就应该考虑换一个大一点的澡盆。

安全提示：
Don’t turn your back on your baby for even a second — babies can drown in just a few inches of water.

If the phone rings and you must answer it, take her with you wrapped in a towel. Better yet, let the answering machine pick it up.

Set your water heater to 120 degrees F. That way, if your baby turns the hot water faucet handle, she won’t get scalded.
