1. Baby Bath Support
Considerations When Choosing a Baby Bath
- Age and Size: Consider whether you need a bath that adapts as your baby grows (like the Fisher-Price 4-in-1) or one that’s perfect for newborns (like the Puj Tub or Moby Bath Sling).
- Space: Evaluate your bathroom space—compact designs can be ideal for smaller areas.
- Ease of Cleaning: Look for models with removable, washable components to simplify hygiene maintenance.
- Safety Features: Ensure the bath offers secure support with non-slip surfaces and ergonomic designs that cradle your baby safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Holistic Doctor in Toronto recommends using natural and organic baby bath essentials such as a non-toxic baby bath support, gentle plant-based cleansers, organic baby lotions, soft eco-friendly towels, and a safe bubble bath to ensure a soothing and safe bathing experience for newborns.
Newborns only need a bath 2-3 times per week since their skin is delicate and can dry out quickly. Instead of daily baths, a gentle wipe-down with a warm washcloth between baths helps keep them fresh.
Holistic doctors avoid harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. Recommended options include Weleda Baby Wash, Calming Lavender Castile Soap, and organic baby lotions made with coconut or shea butter.
To ensure a calm and enjoyable bath time, keep the water warm (around 98°F or 37°C), use a comfortable bath support, talk softly to your baby, and wrap them in a warm, organic towel immediately after to prevent chills.
Most holistic doctors caution against essential oils for newborns as their skin is highly sensitive. Instead, opt for natural, unscented baby cleansers or mild lavender-infused products that are safe for delicate skin.
A 100% organic cotton hooded towel is the best choice, as it is soft, absorbent, and free from harmful dyes or synthetic materials, ensuring gentle care for your baby’s delicate skin.
A gentle baby massage with organic coconut oil, olive oil, or a plant-based baby lotion can lock in moisture, prevent dryness, and promote relaxation before bedtime.
