Bathing a newborn baby:
- Although it is recommended that the baby should not be bathed until the first seven days. Many families want to bathe the baby on the first or second day of delivery. Here, every parent should know this fact that bathing a newborn and leaving it wet or exposed may cause it to get cold and fall sick. Thus, it is better to wipe the baby immediately, at least for the first five to seven days.
- Family members must wait at least for seven days if the newborn is a Low Birth Weight baby.
- For small and pre-term babies, DO NOT give a bath until the baby becomes more than 2000 grams.
- To keep a small baby clean, you can give a light oil massage but making sure that the room is warm and the baby is not left uncovered for more than 10 minutes.
