Ok this is almost certainly a very stupid question, but what is the procedure for cleaning a baby as they get bigger?
I learned how to bath him when he was tiny obviously, and what I've always done is - clean his face with cotton wool pads - 1 for each eye, one for the face, then 1 for each ear and side of chin. Then I put him on my lap, with his head over the bath and wash his hair, dry his hair, take his nappy off and wipe him off and then pop him in the bath and wip over with a flannel.
I have now stopped with the expensive cotton wool habit, and use a clean flannel for his face.
Of course he is now too heavy to hold over the bath while I wash his hair, but what do I do? I've just been wiping his head with the flannel, but it's not really cleaning it well, and we were starting to make headway with the small patch of mild cradlecap.
He sits quite well, but not completely unsupported yet.
Apologies for the very long, and unimportant post, but I am at a loss!
