They should be made of soft cotton.
A good tip is to warm the towel on a radiator before bathing baby so it is nice and warm.
One word of caution. Never leave Baby in the Bath tub unattended. Never Never do that……

Category Advice for the New Mum
Once you bring baby home from the hospital your problems really begin. Now we do not want to ruin the most precious gift of all – a baby but did you know that Newborn Babies sleep for appoximately 17 hours a day.. Even if it is only in short bursts.
The loss of sleep is probably the hardest thing for new parents to cope with. Hopwever it is not all bad news.
Establish a routine as quickly as possible. As you begin to bond with your new arrival you will notice that she displays certain behaviours as to when she is tired or hungry etc. Soon it will not be long before you understand her and she will settle more easily and so will you.
Don’t be afraid to get as much help as possible in the first few weeks. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Try to share as many domestic duties like cooking and cleaning with your partner or any other family member who is willing to chip in.
We do recomment Breast Feeding your new baby, but if you can’t or simply do not want to then that is no problem.
Try not to forget about yourself. Try to eat healthily and take a little exercise each day. At the moment everything revolves around baby, but you are most important to, don’t forget that.
However if you feel that you are not coping well you should always chat to your health visitor or GP. They will be more than willing to offer you advice, after all that is what they are there for.

Take care
