How to Give Your Baby a Full Wash Without a Bath?

We often think that bathing is an essential daily ritual for a baby’s well-being. However, there may be times when you are unable to give your baby a bath or immerse them in water. Don’t worry, you won’t be considered a bad mother. It is entirely possible to give your baby a full wash without bathing them.

How to wash your baby without a bath?
It may seem quicker and simpler, but a wash that replaces a bath actually requires more time. So, set aside enough time for your baby’s comfort and well-being. You can do it in the morning or evening, but in any case, you should not be in a hurry or pressed for time. Since your baby is not in the bath, make sure they don’t get cold when you take off their clothes. Ideally, the room should be at 22°C. Before undressing your baby, gather all the supplies you’ll need and make sure everything is within reach.

What care can replace a bath?
Cleansing milk has a cleaning effect on the skin and does not require rinsing. You can apply it all over your baby’s body and take the opportunity to give a gentle massage that will relax them. If you want to use dermatological soap, you need to use a very clean washcloth, as it can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria.
