You need not to leave the baby unattended to go to and grab an item you forgot to place out.The water to be used for bathing should be lukewarm.Never place your baby under running water, and always test the water with your hand before placing your baby in the tub.You can bath your baby in your lap also for more convenience.

Holding your baby with the breast is a great way to prevent the baby from slipping out of your hand.Bath time is a bonding experience between baby and mother, and should always be done with consideration and ease.
