A simple, gentle bathtime routine
Bathtime with a newborn or baby can feel daunting, but a consistent, gentle routine makes it easier for both of you. Baby Bath & Shampoo 200ml is a certified organic, plant-based wash designed for skin and hair. It's lightly foaming and gentle enough for newborns weighing 3kg / 6lb 10oz and over, so you can use it from those early days with confidence.
The formula includes organic lavender and chamomile, which help create a calming atmosphere. This guide walks you through how to use it, from preparing the bath to washing delicate hair, with practical tips for a smooth experience.
How to bathe your baby with Baby Bath & Shampoo
Follow these steps for a safe and effective bathtime. Always supervise your baby and never leave them unattended in the bath.
- 1. Prepare the bath: Fill a baby bath with warm water (test it with your elbow or wrist). Add a small amount of Baby Bath & Shampoo—about a teaspoon—while the water runs to help it disperse. The exact amount isn't specified in the product information, so start with a small quantity and adjust as needed.
- 2. Wash the body: Use your hand or a soft washcloth to gently cleanse your baby's skin. The lightly foaming formula is mild and doesn't require vigorous rubbing. Rinse with clean water from the bath or a cup.
- 3. Wash the hair: For a gentle baby hair wash, wet your baby's hair with clean water, then apply a small amount of the product to your hand and massage it gently into the scalp. Rinse thoroughly, protecting your baby's eyes with your hand or a visor. The product is designed for both skin and hair, so you can use it from head to toe.
- 4. Rinse and pat dry: Rinse your baby with clean, warm water and pat dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing, especially on delicate skin.
How much should you use?
The product label doesn't specify an exact amount per bath, but because the formula is lightly foaming and gentle, a little goes a long way. For a newborn, a teaspoon or less is typically sufficient for both body and hair. If you're unsure, start with a small amount and add more if needed. Remember that the goal is gentle cleansing, not lots of bubbles.

Tips for a calm and safe bathtime
Keep the room warm and have everything ready before you start: a towel, clean nappy, and clothes. Use one hand to support your baby's head and back at all times. Talk or sing softly to help your baby relax. The organic lavender and chamomile in the wash can help create a calming routine, but always be guided by your baby's cues—if they seem uncomfortable, end the bath and try again another day.
Never leave your baby alone in the bath, even for a second. If you need to step away, wrap your baby in a towel and take them with you.
What to expect from the formula
Baby Bath & Shampoo 200ml is designed to gently cleanse skin and hair, leaving baby's skin soft and comforted. The mild plant-based blend includes organic lavender and chamomile, which contribute a soothing scent. The formula is lightly foaming, so it rinses easily. As with any new product, if your baby has particularly sensitive skin, you may wish to do a patch test on a small area first. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
