Washcloth or hands?

Either works—choose what’s calmer.

Your hands are gentle and quick (great for newborns).

A soft washcloth can help with folds and quick clean-ups.

Avoid anything scratchy. If it feels rough to you, it’s rough for them.

The best tool is the one you can use calmly with one hand.
