Learn how to use baby soap correctly, from setting out supplies to washing the hair, body and sensitive genital area, plus two gentle soap options.

Using baby soap to bathe a baby

Once you know what to look for in the best baby soap, the next step is using it the right way at bath time. How the soap goes onto your baby's body matters too, so that your little one ends up clean and comfortable. Here is a guide to using baby soap when you bathe your baby.

How to Use Baby Soap Correctly

  1. Get everything ready.

Before you start the bath, set out all the bathing supplies within arm's reach. Choose a liquid baby soap and keep it close, so it is easy to use without any fuss.

  1. Pour enough baby soap into your palm

Pour enough soap into the palm of your hand. Then gently wash your baby's hair and the area around the head. A 2 in 1 baby soap such as Mitu Baby Sabun 2 in 1 Honey Milk is practical because it also works on your baby's hair. Try to keep soap out of the eyes. If there is any risk of it getting in during the bath, choose a baby soap that does not sting the eyes.

  1. Clean the body.

After you have cleaned your baby's head and face, move on to the body. It helps to pour the soap just once at the start, so you do not have to reach for the bottle again mid-bath. Gently rub your baby's body with a mild baby soap, starting at the neck and working down through the arms, tummy and back.

  1. Clean the genital area

Once you have washed everything from the top down to the torso, the last step is the genital area. Take extra care here, because this area is quite sensitive. Choose a soap that is free of fragrance and alcohol, and clean the intimate area from front to back.
