The new born is too delicate to handle. Sometime he slips from hands when soapy. Please suggest your tips that you use to bathe baby.

Your premise is false: it is normal to handle a baby. The neck is weak, so you always support the neck when you pick baby up, and because of the slippery hands you avoid picking up as much as possible. Always pick baby up with both hands. Wash baby in a sink or dishpan on a counter with a large towel nearby. After washing, place baby on the towel and dry gently without picking up.
The water is not deep enough to drown the baby, and it is not entirely necessary to put the baby in a pan of water at all. It is quite alright to lay the baby on a towel and wash with a cloth.
Ok I use a bathing tub for it, hence I find it bit difficult.
Well then how can you make him bath, if you use both the hands to hold him. Not getting exactly.
