Baby Hygiene Care: A Complete Guide for the First Months

Maintaining good hygiene routines is essential for your baby's health and comfort. From their very first bath to every diaper change, baby hygiene care should be gentle, consistent, and involve products suitable for delicate newborn skin.

In this article, we’ll share everything you need to know about newborn hygiene, with practical tips and product suggestions—all available from our online store.


🛁 1. Newborn Bath Time: When and How to Bathe Your Baby

A baby's bath is a special bonding moment and helps soothe your little one. In the first days, 2–3 baths per week are usually enough.

  • Water temperature: Between 36°C and 37°C.

  • Bath duration: 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Recommended products: Use neutral pH baby bath gel and shampoo, free from alcohol and harsh fragrances.


🧷 2. Diaper Changing and Intimate Area Care

Frequent diaper changes prevent rashes and discomfort.

  • Clean with soft wipes or cotton soaked in warm water.

  • Apply baby barrier cream at every diaper change.

  • Choose hypoallergenic diapers, especially for newborns.


👶 3. Baby Umbilical Cord Care

In the early days, special care is needed for the umbilical cord stump:

  • Clean with 70% alcohol if advised by your pediatrician.

  • Keep the area dry and uncovered by the diaper.

  • Never pull the stump; it will fall off naturally.


✂️ 4. Nail, Nose, and Ear Care

  • Nails: Trim using rounded baby scissors after bath time when nails are softer.

  • Nose: Use saline solution or a gentle nasal aspirator.

  • Ears: Clean only the outer part with a damp cotton pad. Avoid cotton swabs.


👕 5. Clothing and Laundry Tips

  • Wash baby clothes separately with a hypoallergenic detergent.

  • Choose breathable, natural fabrics like cotton.

  • Avoid fabric softeners or strong scents.
