@sherrynygirl, cause I have bad judgement with water temp

@sherrynygirl, well I was gonna use a temp gauge

Babies have very delicate skin Never Use hot water and think itll cool eventually..not safe okay

What are u using baby bath tub? Rem u can't get umbilical cord wet..best thing u could do is use kitchen sink so u don't have to bend over..and keep him in a diaper and towel and use a baby rag towel like hand towel soft and wet it and add baby wash to it

I use an elevated baby tub lounge good for babies especially newborns

So it's not cooling down by the time he's halfway done@sherrynygirl,

Warm to touch always..you touch it with your hand...Never hot

I'll run it hot and wait 10 min to put him in

Should the water be warm or hot??

@sherrynygirl, thank you ...

Take a deep breath and be calm..they feel your nervousness...feel the water is warm..1st..don't full undress baby if its a newborn..keep towel by your side too..start on the chest with a warm baby towel wet w baby body wash and do each thigh to foot.do their private part.go around umbilical cord with light water only...wash the face becareful near the eyes..you can back of ears also...not inside..and you don't have to wash the hair everyday..towel dry good..newborns even in hot weather need to stay warm.u can put on a baby hat.socks and onesie or a 1 piece foot pjama w a blanket..you'll do just fine

@exoticyuri what karensmommy said about a soapy rag and then just a wet rag

@exoticyuri what i did was id have a bowl of water and id wet my baby then put the soap on a rag then id just wash her off with a nonsoapy wet rag

@jlbentley231, i feed him after. I want him to anticipate this and be calm next time.

@karensmommy, how to I use his soap?? If it's a sponge bath? I'm pissed the nurses barely let me witness it Im so lost

He will be fine, do those sponge baths until his umbilical cord is off and keep him warm. I would feed him before bathtime that way he is chill.

@exoticyuri my dr told us to only give sponge baths till it came off. 😬😬😬 but as long as the belly doesnt get soaked it should be fine

@namastaye, i get sad when he cries.....

Keep

@karensmommy, Im gonna Jeep it shallow

Just be careful around the umbilical cord (donot emerge in water till the cord has fallen off
