Baby Shower Planning Guide
Baby Shower Planning Guide
The day has finally arrived. You have carried that little one for 9 months, and it is time to assume the responsibilities of taking care of them. The joys of raising a child are plentiful. For the next 18 years there are going to be many things that you are going to be have to do to care for your child. In the early years of their life they are going to need help bathing because of course they are too small and do not know how to do it by themselves yet.
The next step is to think about what baby bath accessories you will need to accomplish giving them a bath. First, you will need a baby bathtub, for sure. These can generally be found at your local retail store or baby department store, or perhaps maybe you received one at your Baby Shower. Safety is very important these days so you are going to want to get a baby bathtub that meets safety standards and will keep your baby free from harm.
Another bath essential you will need is baby shampoo and/or baby body wash. Most baby soaps and shampoos are made to be tear-free and gentle on their skin, so this should be fairly simple to complete as many stores carry baby bath items. Again, maybe you even received some baby bath items at your Baby Shower so this will really be easy because you will not have to go buy it.
A washcloth is another must-have when it comes to bathing. A soft, gentle washcloth is essential because you want your baby’s skin to remain soft and smooth. Washcloths made from cotton are very soft and gentle on the skin. Last but not least after bathing comes the importance of a baby towel. Hooded towels are often very helpful because heat is usually lost from baby’s head very quickly. So a nice warm, cozy hooded towel will definitely come in handy, and baby can cuddle up inside and stay warm until their mommy gets them into their pajamas.
An optional bath item to use after bathing would be baby lotion. Baby lotion smells really good, and it leaves baby’s skin soft and smooth and conditions their skin so that it does not dry out our little ones’ skin. Cold weather can really dry out their skin fast so be sure to be prepared during this time of year.
Bathing is such a precious time between mother and baby because fond memories and bonding time are so important while a baby is growing up. Enjoy this time because babies grow up very fast and before you know it they will not need our help anymore because they will be able to do it on their own.

Does anyone know? 2 questions. 10 pts easy!?
Does anyone know where I can find an online printable baby shower guide? My mom is planning my shower, but my 19 year old sister wants to help and she wanted some sort of a guide to go by. Thanks in advance!
Another question…
I’m 22 weeks, almost 23 weeks, and I was wondering how many other women are 22 weeks and how much you have done for your baby as far as it’s room, clothing, diapers, and stuff like that. I’m just wondering because my aunt told me that she had a lot more done by now. Thanks!
Good afternoon,
Answer 1 – My friend was pregnant about 6 months ago and i found this site had some good ideas on it when we was looking for things
http://allaboutshowers.com/baby / http://www.baby-shower-guide.com if you want a book i think they sell one in waterstones.
Answer 2 – I’m now 17 weeks and we have a few items already we have the waldrobe, drawers and Cotbed (not put up yet), We have 3 packs of Pampers and got 9 Reuseable nappies and the bottles and serilizer already Some offers are to good to miss.
We are having our second scan in 3 weeks to find out the babies sex and if all is well we will start getting a few item every couple of weeks so its not all a big bill at once.
Things like Buggy and bouncers etc I’d like in the house by 35 weeks but other family members are getting them for us as gifts. All the clothes/Bedding will need t be washed before use so don’t want to leave it to the last minute as i’ll be to tired
Hope this helps and good luck
