BABY AND THE BATHTUB

There are a number of things to remember when bathing baby. The most important is to never leave baby unattended in a bathtub.

If the phone rings and you must answer it, wrap the baby in a towel and take him with you.

Cover the tub surface with a rubber suction mat to prevent slipping and fill the tub with only 3 to 4 inches of warm water. Support his back at all times if he can't sit up securely on his own.

Don't allow your child to drink the bath water or submerge his head. Keep the toilet lid and bathroom door closed when not in use. Get a lid lock for the toilet.
