Part III
While it is common for most families to incorporate a bath into their baby’s daily wind-down routine, we don’t recommend bathing your newborn or infant every day 🙅🏻♀️
How does this affect your baby’s sleep?
Daily baths have the potential to dehydrate your baby’s skin and exacerbate conditions like eczema or dermatitis. In turn, this can affect your baby’s sleep due to increased itchiness, pain, or discomfort 😣
The choice of clothing material, such as polyester, can also contribute to these issues, as mentioned in part 1 on ‘how to improve your baby’s eczema’. Therefore, to maintain optimal skin health, we recommend bathing your baby every 2-3 days and dressing them in organic cotton like @ergopouch and @purebabyorganic 🌸
What if your baby loves their bath routine?
We recommend investing in a shower 🚿 and bath 🛁 filter to remove the chlorine and chloramine from your tap water. Recommended brands from @a.glimpse.of.amelia include:
🚿 @clearchoicescleanwater
🚿 @waterscofilters
🚿 @zazenalkalinewater
