Five easy step bathing you preemie at home.

My dear friend with her preemie Daniella in NICU using the Bath Bubble.

Did you know Bubbles and Bibs makes Bath Bubbles for premature baby's?  The Bath Bubble is approved by Midwife Lynne Mckensey Hall from Better Beginnings

Here is five easy steps to bath your newborn at home.
Chances are your nurse helped you bathe your preemie baby in the hospital but now that you’re home you’re struggling to remember every step.  Relax help is at hand with the Bath Bubble, Bath Wrap, Mummy's Bib and following these six easy steps  bath time will be a stress-free and relaxing time both you and your baby will love each time.

Be prepared

Just as you would gather supplies before making your favourite recipe, get your bath assembled in a warm environment.  Turn off the phone and ask dad for an extra pair of hands to help . . . just in case.


Place the baby bathtub on a firm surface, place the Bath Bubble in a regular bathtub or baby bathtub and set your bath articles away from baby’s reach. Bath items you will want include a soft wash cloth, cotton balls, rinse water, etc.
Prepare the after-bath area for drying by padding with extra clean towels. To warm your Mummy's Bib or towels before the bath, toss them into the dryer on the “delicate” cycle for 5 minutes or so. Make sure you have an extra diaper, too, since bathing often stimulates babies to relax and let it rip!

Test the water

Your baby’s bath should be warmer than lukewarm, so she doesn’t get chilled. Her body temperature is 37C, so aim for bath water that’s between 36ºC to 37ºC. Test the water with your elbow, rather than your hand, as our hands are used to warmer temperatures. My mother in law actually thought me to test the water like this, but I used a digital thermometer instead. 


Putting baby into the Bath Bubble

Wrap them up in the Bath Wrap and place them inside the Bath Bubble.  The Bath Wrap will help them feeling safe and secure.  When they have adjusted to the water gently un wrap them and wipe and wash them with the Bath Wrap (Made from soft muslin)

Drying time made easy.

When bath time is finished place the Mummy’s Bib around your neck just like a bib, this allows you the lift baby out the bath without clinging the towel underneath your chin.  Lift your baby from the bath and place them against your chest and covering baby’s head with the hood at the bottom of the towel, wrap them up with the warmth of the towel.  Place them on the change table or prepared surface.  Loosen the Mummy’s Bib behind your neck use this part to dry small areas (between the toes, fingers and behind the ears.)

Dress for success

Dress your baby in the appropriate clothes recommended by your NICU nurse.  Baby is now ready for bed.

Enjoy this precious time with your baby stress free with the help of Bubbles and Bibs.
