When do you introduce soap and shampoo to newborns bath routine? Looking to use child's farm

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I just used to wash their hair over the bath first, then just put them in that water.

@DustyLee123 for a newborn?

AnneLovesGilbert · 08/07/2023 17:51

3 months and I haven’t yet. We take him in the shower instead of bathing him. Can’t remember what we did with DD. What are you thinking?

DustyLee123 · 08/07/2023 17:51

Yes.

They don't need it for ages, their hair just needs warm water too

Just water and a flannel for a long time.

When he started nursery I started diluting a bit of baby wash in the bath (Aveeno emollient with oats).
