What are the essentials for baby care?

Before giving birth, you wanted to prepare your baby's toiletry kit ahead of time so that nothing would be missing, but you notice that half of it is unnecessary and can be left out. So what are the essentials for baby care?

What do you need for bath time?
To bathe your baby, you don't need a whole range of products. Choose a very gentle cleansing product, such as a dermatological soap that respects your baby's delicate pH, and a suitable shampoo. Be careful: in addition to being non-stinging for the eyes, baby shampoo is adapted to the nature of their very dry hair. To prevent your baby from getting burned in the bath, adjust the bath temperature with a bath thermometer.

What do you need for diaper changes?
To change your baby, you can opt for the natural method with soap, a soft washcloth, and water. Other, busier parents choose baby wipes. However, wipes are sometimes considered less eco-friendly. In any case, you should also have a diaper cream on hand to prevent diaper rash.

For daily care
Every day, you need to clean your baby's face, comb their hair, and check their nails. For this, you need sterile pads and saline solution to clean their eyes and nose. Equip yourself with a small soft-bristled hairbrush and small rounded-tip scissors to trim their nails.
