1.Pick a convenient time. Some moms prefer mornings when babies are usually alert and raring to go.
2.Many parents find it easiest to place their baby in a towel-lined infant tub, but you could lay a towel on just about any flat, comfortable surface. Grab a change of clothes, a clean diaper, a couple of washcloths, another big towel, a mild baby soap, and a bowl or cup of warm (not hot) water.
3.Keep your little one cozy. Make sure the room is warm before undressing your baby. Plan to drape a warm, wet washcloth over the parts of your baby you're not cleaning at the moment so she stays comfortable.
4.Start at the top. Start with your baby's face and head, using a washcloth without soap so you don't get any suds in her eyes or mouth.
5.Wrap it up. Finish off by drying your baby with a hooded towel, putting on a fresh diaper, and planting a kiss on that clean, soft belly. All done!
