Baby Bathtime

Although a regular towel can be used for a newborn, it is often too heavy and can be rough against a baby's skin. Soft hooded baby towels, on the other hand, are designed with your baby's size and sensitive skin in mind. Furthermore, the hood keeps your baby's head warm, allowing them to feel snug and cozy before you get to the changing table.

In general, doctors recommend washing newborn baby towels every two to three uses, thus the number of baby towels you need is entirely dependent on how often you bathe your little one. If your baby is still a newborn, you might not bathe them more than three times a week, therefore a baby hooded towel set including two towels is ideal for you. As the baby grows, you may want to bathe them more frequently, therefore you might need up to four towels.

Except for your baby outgrowing them, there's no practical reason to stop using baby towels. The majority of hooded baby towels are large enough to suit a toddler.

Yes, baby towels and washcloths should be washed before use with baby-safe laundry products.

Baby washcloths are versatile cloths used for sponge baths, face wipes, diaper changes, burp cleanups, and more. They’re gentler than regular towels and small enough to handle messes on delicate skin.

If you ask moms how many washcloths they believe you need, you'll receive a wide range of responses. Some say you need at least 7 to 8 washcloths, while others say a few would suffice. It depends on how frequently you bathe your child and whether you use them to clean up additional messes outside of your bathtime routine.
