So this is my first baby so please correct me if I am wrong but, it sounds like everyone massively overthinks bathing a baby?
We just had an NCT class discussing bathing a baby and I coincidentally read the NHS guidance on birthing a baby yesterday and it’s all
- don’t take off all their clothes
- first wipe their face
- then wipe their arms
- then take off their nappy
- then put them in water
- then wash their body
- then wash their hair
Like I said, never had a baby but my mum friends, and certainly when I was a baby, just plonked their baby in a warm baby bath and then just....washed them?
Do you need this all rigmarole?
TIA x
