"Hi, I'm Veronica Baragas with mywigglesandgiggles.com and I'm going to share with you how to care for an infant after a bath. First I would start out with laying out your few supplies which would be a nice fluffy towel, some baby lotion, a soft bristle brush, and just kind of laying it all out together. Once you take your baby out of the shower, I would dry them down with your fluffy towel. And once they're towel dried, I would start with some lotion in your hand. Rub it together so it's not so cool. And I would start at the shoulders and kind of do circular motions and rub your baby's body with lotion all throughout from head to toe. Once you're finished with that, I would definitely do some combing of the hair. Even if they don't have very much, just still kind of train it which ever way you would like. And also, get them in to some like warm pj's or onesies or what not. So just, the situation would go a lot smoother if had everything out together and ready. And give lots of snuggles and hugs and kisses. And make sure that your baby is nice, dry and warm. And that's what I would do to care for a baby after a bath."
