When washing a baby girl, pay special attention to wash the genital area from front to back, to avoid getting germs from the anus into the vagina. Wash only the outer part of the vulva. Then wash the buttocks with a clean wet gauze and wipe gently.
When washing a baby boy, the genital area must also be washed downwards. Be mindful not to pull the skin backwards. This will only happen following the pediatrician's instructions. Also wash the area around the testicles and the area around the buttocks. Wipe the area carefully.
