Mommy Guide: How to Bathe a New Born
When I gave birth to my eldest, one of the main problem that I encountered was the bathing time. I used to be scared in bathing my baby and always get a help from my mom or anyone in the neighborhood who knows how to bathe a newborn. Drowning and scalding are the major risks for babies in the bath. I used to have a big fear that I may lose control of my hands and drown my child during bathing because they are very slippy when wet. I was afraid that the water might get in my baby's ears or the umbilical cord might bleed, especially if their umbilical cord stump hasn't healed yet.
