Cleanliness is important for the health of the child. The main points should be given to the concerns of the parents for this purpose: 

At first the child should be washed daily with warm water and a bath every night for the purpose of a thorough cleansing of the body, is imperative. Bathe a delicate child a few days or even weeks old "cure" in cold water with views of the Constitution (as they say) is the most effective way to undermine his health and lead to future illness. Gradually, however, the water, which restricts the morning sponge should be tepid, the evening bath is still warm enough to be grateful for the feelings. 

A few months can gradually reduce the temperature of the water used to cool, which they can sponge or negative, went out every morning in the summer. Immersion in cold water, but must be kept, but one minute, because this time, especially impressed with the cold for some time expressed the vital energy and prevent healthy glow after the area in general, the present and a brief action of cold, and depends on its usefulness. For some children, yes, there are such extreme delicacy and deficient reaction, the cold bath of dangerous, no warm light on the surface when its use inevitably damage: its effects must be carefully monitored. 

The surface of the skin should always be carefully and thoroughly rubbed dry with flannel, indeed more than dry, the skin must be warmed and stimulated by the diligent use gentle friction. This process of washing and drying must not be slow, but fast, fast, and then found that one of the most effective means of strengthening the infant should be. It is especially necessary carefully to the armpits, groin and buttocks, and if the child is very thick, dry, dust will be to share it with hair-powder or starch: this prevents excoriations and sores, which are often very nuisance. Soap is only for those parts of the body exposed to scavenge required. 

After this time comes, or shortly after, bathing is but stopped too often, the child's hands and face clean, and thus the nurse is satisfied, the daily washing of the body is still needed, not only for maintenance of cleanliness, but because it promotes a high degree of health of the child. 

A child of a vigorous constitution and robust health, as he rises from his bed refreshed and active by the rest of sleep should be left to the bathroom, or, if this excites and alarms him too much, should head to his foot sponge with salt water. If the weather is very cold, the water a little warm, but when it will implement its constitution, the water must be cold all year round. Then the body must be quickly dried, and hastily but well rubbed with a somewhat coarse towel dress and the garments without unnecessary delays. This should be done every morning in the life of the child. 

If such a child by the sea, must also take into account this fact and resorts to be replaced. The best time is two or three hours after breakfast, but he must be exhausted before that date, if so, the cold bath can not be used without danger. It must be taken to ensure that he did not stay long as the animal heat under the appropriate level should be reduced, which is not only extremely damaging. For the boys, from a weak constitution, is great mischief is often produced in this way. 

It is a matter of great importance in bathing children that they should not be terrified by the immersion, and all precautions to prevent this. The healthy and robust boy should also learn early on, swim as soon as possible because it involves the most positive effects, it is a very stimulating exercise and the cold bath is waiting so twice. 

As a child of tender and a scrofulous constitution, the cold bath in the summer one of the best tonics that can be used, and when life on the coast, swimming in the sea of singular value to be found. The effects are observed by bathing in the sea especially to a constitution, because if it was a sham, a feeling of more power and a strong appetite, it is useless and should be a time specified for the hot or warm bath. The view that warm baths generally relax and weaken, is wrong because in this case, as in all cases when used properly, they sound and power, the whole system is in effect a warm bath this child what the cold bath to more robust.

Conclusion: If the bathroom is not in any form received by the circumstances, then cold salt water washes are used daily and year-round, as long as the proper reaction or glow following its use, but if this is not the case, and this is usually occur if the child is delicate and the weather cold, tepid vinegar and lukewarm water or salt water must be replaced.
