Organic Bathing for your Baby

Your new little bundle of joy is home from the hospital and you're wondering, well my baby doesn't get dirty yet...Should I give baby a bath everyday? That question is up to you, if your new baby is uncomfortable with being washed everyday, try a sponge bath. Start by using a soft sponge and washing your babies face with cooled water, and never use any kind of soap near your babies eyes. Try an organic shampoo and body wash such as Sumboshine. Head and shoulders knees and toes, be sure to wash all around for baby. Be sure to wash under their folds of skin, behind their ears, and especially underneath their neck since formula or milk can drip under the chin.

Your child's nose and ears are self cleaning so if you see a bit of wax or mucus gently take it away from your baby areas. Remove your babies diaper and gently clean the bottom while removing any soil. You can apply an organic baby ointment  to help prevent rashes from diapers. Look for ointments that have vitamin E and Chamomile for soft skin.

When your baby is bigger, we recommend using a Tummy Tub. Tummy Tubs are gaining popularity in the United States, the tummy tub helps to ensure that your child is in the fetal position with warm water just like in the womb. Never leave your child unattended in water, not even for a second. In the first few weeks after birth while using the Tummy Tub you will want to ensure that your child has enough water to the lower shoulders in the Tummy Tub, you will need to support your child while they are in the tub and help hold their neck up for them. Use luke warm water to bathe your baby.


To keep your baby's hair soft and smooth, use naturally pure baby oil for your child's scalp and lightly on the body for smooth skin. The oil will help with flakes in your child's hair and will help with 'craddle cap.' When drying your baby try an organic towel such as Cotton Monkey for drying. An organic towel will help prevent exposure to harsh chemicals and help to prevent rashes and breakouts compared to using a non organic towel to dry your baby.

A baby's nails grow fast and so many times babies reach for their faces and scratch themselves easily. Continually cut your babies nails short to keep from scratching. Be careful when cutting the babies nails and use very dull nail scissors or baby clippers with rounded edges. Don't cut too close to the babies skin...
