Sponge bath is done in newborns who cannot be bathed in a tub. It includes wiping each body section separately with a sponge by placing the baby on a towel. First, wipe the eyes of the baby with two cotton balls. With the help of a washcloth, gently wipe the head and neck of the baby, squeeze drops of soap onto it, wipe the neck and scalp, and pat dry them. Next, wipe the arms and legs one by one, diaper area, and space between the fingers and toes with soap. Use a second washcloth and wipe off the soap with that. Always keep the umbilical cord area dry and clean. Pat dry your baby with the help of the towel on which the baby is lying.
