                       Procedure
                   1.  Keep the room warm, cloth windows, and doors.
                   2.  Wash your hands
                   3.  Put on the mask, rubber apron, and bath apron on top.
                   4.  Put the baby-bathing bowel on a lower stand and fill hot and cold water together.
                   5.  Check the temperature of the water with a bath thermometer or with your elbow to
                       make sure that it is the right temperature.
                   6.  Never test the water with your hand since it could tolerate the water heater but would
                       burn the baby's skin. Moreover, don't add hot water while the baby is in the bath bowl,
                       because of the risk of scaling him/her.
                   7.  Sit on a chair near the bathing bowl
                   8.  Undress the baby upon your knees and keep it well controlled.

                   10. Weep the baby with a bath towel putting the arm at the side.
