Gather up your bathing supplies.

Being prepared is usually the first step with anything having to do with a baby! So, gather a towel, wash cloth, any soaps or lotions you intend to use. Having it handy prevents mishaps in the bath. It also helps you be more confident in the bathing process. Be sure to place these items where you can easily reach them so that your baby is never unattended.
