Never leave your baby alone in the tub or on a table.
Do not turn your back not even for a minute.
Get everything you need near at hand and ready before you start.
If you have to look away or reach for something, keep one hand on the baby.
Fill the tub first and then put the baby in the bath.
Never add hot or warm water once the baby is in the tub.
Test the water in the tub with your wrist or elbow. The water should be warm not hot.
If the water temperature is comfortable for you, it will be comfortable for your baby.
When you finish running the bath, be sure that the water in the tap is cold. This way, the baby won't be scalded if the tap is accidently turned on.
When lifting your baby into or out of the tub, hold the hips and the head. Use both hands and hold the baby close to your body. Babies are slippery when wet!
