6 Reasons to delay the Baby's First Bath
The following article looks at six really important reasons to delay the baby's first bath:
1. Babies are born with a natural skin protectant - Vernix offers immunity & moisturises.
2. Baby wants to be near mum - After birth is a special time for bonding, not bathing.
3. Lowered body temperature - Skin-to-skin is the ideal place to regulate a baby's temperature.
4. Keep stress hormones low and blood sugar normal - Give baby time to adjust to the world around her.
5. A bath with mum or dad sounds nice - creating a special moment with the parents instead of medical staff bathing the baby.
6. Handle with gloves - Medical proffessionals will handle your baby with gloves if she hasn't been bathed reducing the risk of infection.
