Bathing a newborn is a wonderful, loving act between parents and their newborn baby. But there's a lot of confusion about when the right time is to give your baby their first bath. It's recommended to wait 24 hours to give your wee bebe a bath for the first time. Bathing your baby too soon could lead to a drop in body temperature and blood sugar, and it removes the waxy coating on your baby's skin that helps keep them moisturized after they're birthed.
After you bring your baby home from the hospital, it's okay to only give them three or fewer baths during their first year of life. Babies have delicate skin that could easily dry out from bathing too frequently. As always, if you have any concerns regarding your baby's hygiene, it's best to discuss bathing routines with your doctor.
So, what sets a newborn baby apart from other babies? Newborn babies are typically defined as being two months old or younger — this is what's considered the 'newborn phase.' The word 'baby' is more of an umbrella term that can refer to newborns, one-year-olds, and any children up to four years of age.
When a baby is born, they can't see in color — the world appears in shades of black, white, and gray. After your baby has been chillin' in the world for about a week, they can start to see their surroundings in color — but not too much of their surroundings. After one week, babies can see approximately 10 inches away. After six weeks, that bumps up to 12 inches.
Once your baby hits the two or three month mark is when things start getting interesting. Around this age, your little one can follow moving objects, recognize your face, and remember what they see. At six months old, your baby sees the world the same way you do, and at a year, the color of your baby's eyes could change from blue to a darker color.
