    It is interesting to see how different people can do it. In Brazil babies are tub bathed since hospital, and twice a day.

      I'm sure they also have a big belly button also. This is the main reason why wipe bath is better. It's in my culture for the baby to have a full wash also. But now there is so much information out there and reason why we don't to do old methods anymore.

    • @savagecabbage7781

      Ours is to not submerge them in water until the cord falls off and we are told not to bath the baby every day with soaps. You can give them a wipe down with water but only use the baby wash every couple of days so their skin doesn't dry out.

      Even in Brazil this recommendation no longer stands.

    Honestly, this was how I bathed my newborns too. They were both born premature and so fragile. They didn’t have a lot of fat on them like the full term babies would so I literally have to set the temp and make sure it was warm and ready. I wrap them up wash by sections. It gives both my baby and I a good experience.

    Oh wow! This is so complicated. In Nigeria where I come from your mother or an older Lady gives the baby baths for few weeks. Our babies are given normal baths except a baby with complications. She pours the baby water (warm) on the whole body in a warm environment. She even uses a towel to pour hot water (not the one that burn you) on the umbilical thingie saying it helps it fall off quickly. After everything she puts Vaseline and some ointment on the navel area and it's done and how babies live happily ever after no problems.

    • @samoah
      @samoah 3 роки тому +12

      It is in my culture to give babies full bath also. But with all the education available. We learn that full baths leads to big belly button! Therefore, doing bath wipes is not long. It's just for two weeks!

    This seems like too much work. Just put the baby in a towel, hold them and clean them with a warm wash cloth. That's basically all they did anyway. If you want to wash their hair just get someone to help you gently wet their hair over a bowl.

    Bathing is different in every country because of the weather differences. In the U.S. it gets very cold during the autumn and winter and babies are susceptible to getting sick from the mix of cold air in the house and the water on them. This is why they stay covered during the bath.

      We I am from we bath baby everyday. We put them in a bath with water. No problems with umbilical cord whatsoever. When we finish bathing baby we wipe the umbilical cord and clean it with surgical spirits. Not painful for baby and it disinfects and dries it up very quickly.
      My best friend is a pediatric dermatologist with PhD from Oxford UK. She says this method is fine to do.
      I am not sure why some people dont bath the baby for days even weeks. The babies even smell sour from rotten milk. It seems very unhygienic and disgusting to me.
      I live in a place where the people have to most beautiful, softest and healthy skin. And we wash our babies everyday.
      I guess we are all different. What works for some may not work for others.

    being bathed out of water just looks like torture. They are cold, shivering, and screaming!

      I don’t see the baby crying or shivering? Baby seems pretty calm.
      Doctors say not to wet the umbilical cord or it can get gooey infected and stinky, but as all medical advice what works for some may not work for others so some people wet the cord anyway and it’s fine.
      She said to warm the towels in the dryer and keep them in the towel so they won’t be cold. I think it depends on the technique and the baby but I wouldn’t call it torture. I’ve known people to just take a rag and wipe the baby down without putting them in a towel at all, which I think would be more uncomfortable for them.
