Mastering newborn's first bath: A guide for Dads

Listen Here

In this episode, your host Lamar provides valuable insights on mastering the first bath for newborns. Many dads may not be familiar with the process or the safety measures required, so Lamar shares his research and personal experience to equip new dads for this important task.

Main Takeaways:

  • Timing of the First Bath: The World Health Organization recommends delaying the baby's first bath until 24 hours after birth. This allows the baby's body temperature and blood sugar levels to stabilize. Remember, newborns do not need daily baths, especially during the first week.
  • The Sponge Bath Process: Before starting the sponge bath, gather all the necessary supplies, including clean washcloths, a dry towel, and warm water. Be cautious not to get water in the baby's eyes. Gently clean the baby's face, body, and diaper area. Use mild soapsparingly, as babies usually need just water during their first bath.
  • Bath Time Safety Tips: Drowning is a leading cause of injury-related deaths among children, so it's crucial to be vigilant during bath time. Never leave the baby unattended, even with bath seats or support. Ensure the water temperature is appropriate for the baby's sensitive skin, and use non-slip mats or stickers on the floor of the tub to prevent slipping.
  • Preventing Distractions: Avoid distractions like phone calls or conversations during bath time. Empty the tub immediately after use to eliminate any risks for curious and mobile babies.

Summary and Call to Action:

In this episode of "Daddy Prep," Lamar sheds light on the essential steps and safety measures for mastering the first bath for newborns. As fathers play an active role in parenting, it's crucial to be well-informed and prepared to ensure the safety and well-being of our children.

Share this episode with other dads to contribute to the movement of empowering dads to take active roles in their children's lives. Remember, being a father is special, but being a dad requires dedication and knowledge. Let's continue to challenge the societal belief that parenting is primarily a mother's responsibility and work together to create a supportive and involved community of dads.
