All children's swimming standards are known: bath, bath, insert for a newborn or a hill, a thermometer for water, the whole family in helpers. Some relatives begin "goodwill" to prepare young parents to this process even during an extract from the maternity hospital.
- Well, you will be fighting baptism!
- Follow the water to your ears!
- The water temperature so that there was 36 degrees! Not lower and not higher!

Behind the squall of the Soviets, freshly baked dad and mom and think in unison - maybe it's not to bathe him, let him grow so much. This is, of course, humor. For many, the first time turned out to be stressful, it absolutely does not mean that it happens to everyone.
Standard recommendations for bathing newborns
Modern pediatricians (including Evgeny Komarovsky) recommend bathing a child after full healing of the umbilical wound, that is, about 10-14 days. Before that, it is enough to wipe the newborn with water or napkins.
Specialists separately emphasize the difference between the concepts of "bathing" and "washing". The baby does not need the second, it is not necessary to immediately use detergents such as gel and shampoo. If such a need is, it is important to choose delicate cosmetics, which will indicate that it is suitable for children from birth.

Water for the bath is no need to boil (if the navel has completely healed). You can add a weak blax of a series of or chamomile. But without this really do. Just the bath can be pre-cleaned with a safe tool. Even the usual food soda is suitable.
Dr. Komarovsky separately recommends batting babies in a large bath, leaving enough space for movement. Thus, the procedure becomes an important element to start hardening.
The optimal temperature for the start of swimming is 33-34 degrees, gradually it can be reduced. The doctor writes that after such a bath, children eat better and sleep. This is confirmed by many moms that bathe babies "Komarovsky".
So that the bathing does not become stress
However, the swimming option in a large bath is not suitable for everyone. There is a category of children for which 15 minutes in cool water become a reason for a crowded cry. Some kids from such a bathing do not calm down, but, on the contrary, are unnecessarily excited.
In addition, to gain an almost full bath, put in it on a special render of the child and control its movements in the process is not very comfortable alone. And many moms bathe children without helpers.
In this case, an alternative method comes to the rescue, which was perfectly known to our mothers and grandmothers, but now has been developed, even appeared "instructors" who study him for money. We are talking about adaptation bathing.
