Baby's bath: cleanliness and bonding

Bath time is a special moment that soothes and relaxes your baby, while stimulating their senses. A bath every two to three days is sufficient, except in hot weather or after messy activities. The water should be kept at 37°C, the ideal temperature to avoid thermal shock.

‎
Start by cleansing the cleanest areas (face, ears, neck, underarms) before moving on to your hands, then your intimate areas and buttocks. Use an ultra-gentle, sulfate-free cleanser like Cattier's Cleansing Foam, enriched with rice protein, sweet almond, and calendula extract, which cleanses without irritating and leaves skin soft and comfortable.

‎

After bathing, always moisturize your baby's skin with a cream specifically designed for infants. A hypoallergenic, alcohol-free formula helps prevent dryness and protects the skin's natural barrier.

The delicate areas: care and precision

THE NAVEL

Clean your baby's navel daily with a cotton swab moistened with lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly and fold the diaper underneath to prevent chafing.

THE NOSE

Use a saline solution regularly to clear nasal passages and make breathing easier. The humidity from steam (bath or shower) helps to loosen secretions.

THE EYES

Clean from the inner corner outwards with a clean, damp compress, changing the compress for each eye.

HAIR

Wash only once or twice a week, with a gentle, soap-free cleansing gel like Cattier Gentle Cleansing Gel, which respects the natural balance of the scalp while moisturizing thanks to vegetable glycerin and organic aloe vera.

Exchange rates: prevention and protection

Change your baby as soon as the diaper is soiled to prevent maceration and irritation. Clean with an organic liniment rich in vegetable oils (sweet almond, coconut) that nourishes and protects the skin, or with fragrance-free wipes when traveling.

‎

For lasting protection, apply a barrier cream containing organic cocoa butter and zinc oxide at each diaper change, true shields against moisture and friction.

‎

Tip: For little girls, always clean from front to back to avoid the transmission of bacteria.

Bath time: a moment of connection

Beyond hygiene, bath time is a moment of connection that reassures and stimulates your baby. Talk to them, smile at them, and take advantage of this time to strengthen your bond.
