when is it okay to give your baby an actual bath? we've just been doing little sponge baths in the…

we gave E a real bath when his umbilical stump fell off, and the hole was completely closed. It fell off at around 3 weeks but didn't completely close up until about 4 weeks

@vb95, I guess I'll wait till it's fully closed I think it's almost healed. his fell off a few days before he was 2 weeks.

Yeah, I would I wanted to give Elliot a bath so bad, but I didn't want anything getting in there. @shelsynikkol

@vb95, I just feel like it will be so much easier for me it's hard doing it in the sink.. but I'd rather wait a little while longer then have any infections going on

Once the umbilical stump falls off
