The best way to bathe a baby in a shower stall is to take the baby out of its bed/car seat/stroller/nursing etc. and hold it in your arms. It’s safe to hold the baby like this in the shower. Just make sure you hold it out of the water. The most dangerous part of the shower is when you first turn the water on and off, so I would make sure you are alert and holding the baby at this time.

Wash the baby using warm water and soap.

Get it?

I don’t know how to bathe in a shower stall but apparently I have to do it for my kids!

It’s something to take care of for sure.

After having two kids, I can say I definitely don’t get to shower as much as I should.

I’m usually late for most things because of it.

I don’t know when I’m gonna find the time to sit down and shower.

All I can do is think about it and that’s not good.

It’s funny how no matter what, I can’t manage to figure out how to get a shower everyday.

So, I decided to try something different and bring my bathing strategy to the forefront of my brain and use it everyday.

Wash the baby’s hair first with the water turned as cold as possible and sponge it off with the wash cloth.

Squeeze as much water as you can out of the wash cloth and keep using it.

Dry the baby with a cool air-conditioning unit or on a dryer sheet.

If you live in an apartment or condo or any other enclosed area, try to use a hand held shower head (it’s cheaper and quieter than a powerful water heater).

Bathe the baby while her tummy is submerged and then use your arm to raise the baby out of the water (it may take a few tries to get used to this) and onto the towel that you lay on a dryer sheet.

You will probably still need to help bathe her again a few times with the bowl and the shower head, but for the most part this is a great alternative.

You will want to be sure that you do not drown the baby or put too much pressure on her head.

What do I do if I don’t have a shower stall?

Take a deep breath! Find a bathroom. Put a towel down inside the door and floor.

Brush the baby’s hair, eyebrows, and face with shampoo and conditioner.

What to do with baby’s hair when washing their hair with a washcloth?

Leave the top half of the baby’s hair down, and then with the washcloth, clean out around his earholes and under his chin.

Wash the hair between the ears with the washcloth.

Wash the hair down the baby’s back.

Then rinse out the washcloth and continue washing around the back of the neck and around the sides of the head.

Then rinse the washcloth out in the shower.

Put the washcloth in the shower rack.

Put the baby in the shower and watch them as they play and enjoy the water.

Massage the baby’s body with lotion and moisturizer.

Remove all towels and replace them with towels for rinsing and drying.

Shut off the water and open the shower door wide enough to put your baby into it.

Wipe your baby’s bottom with a wet washcloth.

Rinse the baby off with a mild liquid soap (such as baby soap or a natural cleanser).

Lather the baby’s body with water, squeezing it in between the baby’s arms.

Rub off any excess soap with a washcloth.

Put a clean, dry washcloth on your baby’s chest for comfort and dryness.

Remove the water from your baby’s hair.

Rinse out the shower stall.

Wrap your baby in a towel.

Rub your baby’s body with a dry, moisturizing body wash.

After you’ve finished washing the baby’s body, rub some more lotion into his body to prevent the baby from developing a dry skin condition.

Apply a shower cap to keep the water from coming into the baby’s eyes.

Keeping the shower curtain closed will give your baby a warm, clean feeling. The temperature of the water and the shower cap are enough for washing your baby.

If your baby is crawling around, wet wipes or baby wipes are a good alternative.

If you want to avoid a bath, let your baby take a bath on her own. Or, put your baby in the sink, bathtub or the toilet bowl.

How to bathe a baby on a Toilet – The Ultimate Guide!

You can bathe your baby on the toilet, bathtub or the toilet bowl.

If your baby is crawling around, wet wipes or baby wipes are a good alternative.

If you want to avoid a bath, let your baby take a bath on her own. Or, put your baby in the sink, bathtub or the toilet bowl.

Launder the baby in cold water and dry him/her off with a towel.

Carry baby to bathtub and put the baby in the water with the aid of bungee cord.

Use an ultrasonic shower head.

Do not force the baby to drink or take baths and massage him/her before bath.

If you want to take a bath with the help of your baby:

Make a small basin with sponge in the small shower stall in your bathroom.

Swaddle the baby and place him/her in the basin.

Put the basin in the shower with the help of the bungee cord.

Turn on the shower to get the water flowing.

Swing the baby from the bungee cord and take a bath.

To get Baby to drink a bath – put baby in the bathroom.

Make an environment where he/she can sense the smells and sight of your own home.

Clean the bathroom.

Turn on the lights, fan, TV and the music.

Take a bath with your baby.

Conclusion

Always put a bath mat down in the shower stall and keep the shower running. It’ll help keep the floor from getting too slippery. Use a baby wash cloth–the thicker, the better–and a soft baby sponge. (A regular sponge will hurt her tender skin!) Use mild soap or a baby shampoo, and wash every part of her body. Be careful not to get soap in her eyes, nose, or mouth! Rinse off all the soap, shampoo, and water from her body. Then gently pat her dry with a thick towel. If your daughter is old enough, you can let her help you with the washcloth and sponge!
