Until the baby does not drop the cord there are many authors who recommend not bathing them. There are others, however, who deny that there is any impact on the cord by the fact of bathing them.
In hospitals they usually recommend, at least for the days you are there, to do a quick wash with a sponge and hot water. Today I want to explain how it is done.
It is a simple process but complicated at the same time.
It may sound macho (or feminist, I never clear up), but it's simple when a woman does it and complicated when we do it.
It is not an excuse, is that we are unable to do well at the first (and many or the second).
Normally a nurse will explain to you very kindly how you should do it and this is one of the moments to show that "Dad was born for this."
Why I say it is complicated:
- - Look nice, you prepare a bucket with hot water, neither too hot nor too cold. - And what is it like, hey? Because very hot for me it is boiling and very cold it is freezing. - Well, you notice it nice.
Of course, nice, but with the little touch that men have for this temperature, we do not even know when the clothes are dry or wet, how do you know?
My advice is have a water thermometer (often advice). If you do not have one, the idea is that you put the water in the bucket and assess the temperature as it fills, and when you see that it is more or less good try with the other hand.
The first has been touching hot water for a while and has adapted to it, but the other has not, and acts as a contact for dry baby - hot water.
- - Now you are taking off the clothes. - Very good.
- - Hurry up, majo, your water is going to cool down.
