    As a lactation consultant in hospital and private practice I see first-hand how parents feel so anxious about taking care of their newborn baby. As you said, there is a learning curve for anything new that we do; and this is exactly what I tell them. Practice and LOVE makes perfect. I love the swaddle tip! Be well. 👋🏽

    My baby went through a hating baths phase. She would scream the whole time, it made me scared I was doing something wrong or that the water wasn’t the right temperature.
    Luckily it only lasted a couple weeks, I just sponge bathed her during that time. Then I would put her in the tub without water (and clothes on) and gradually put water in the tub to get her used to the sensation. After that I would slowly remove her clothes. This really helped ease her into regular baths!
    Thanks for the info you provide!

  • @s0846856
    @s0846856 4 роки тому +31

    Another tip from my own experience: change the time of day you're giving a bath. I was told to bath my son in the evening and he hated it. So we bath him in the morning and he absolutely loves it!

  • @becide7604

  • @marymurphree8071
    @marymurphree8071 3 роки тому +6

    Thank you for this video! My son has had four baths in almost four weeks because we have been so freaked out about how he screams... all of them have been really hard. Last night I gave him a bath with me and nursed him the whole time so he would be calm. My husband and I had a much easier time bathing him while he was calm!

  • @cbuckholt13
    @cbuckholt13 4 роки тому +7

    This was great. I haven't bathed an infant in like 8 years and my husband never has. I've definitely never seen a swaddle bath either. This makes me feel much better with our first baby almost here!

  • @ziyanda_theartist
    @ziyanda_theartist 2 роки тому +2

    Thanx you for this 🙌🏼💖 I thought my baby was getting used to his baths, though I bath him once (sometimes twice) a week at the moment, but when I bathed him last night, he was back to screaming his lungs out... He's two months old now, and I saved this video some time ago, I'm glad I did...

  • @mrsbethanyelise
    @mrsbethanyelise 3 роки тому +4

    My daughter didn't like baths, so I started putting a space heater in the bathroom and shutting the door to get the temp in the room warmer. Even if bath water is warm, it cools fast and baby's wet skin will get cold once exposed to the air. She likes her baths better this way!

  • @LCSDarkAngel2006
    @LCSDarkAngel2006 3 роки тому +1

    I’ve always nursed my son after his bath; skin-to-skin for comfort when he was a newborn until about 9 or 10 months. Fortunately, I managed to prepare myself mentally at bath times to tolerate/handle his cries/screams.
    I actually didn’t bathe my son until his cord fell off. He only had his hair washed at the hospital, that’s it. I, myself believed that it would be beneficial for him (those reasons you listed) to wait. I plan to do the same with my second son after he comes. I’ll just wash his hair and then give him his first bath after his cord falls off. :)

    I watched all your videos. It was very helpful. I delivered my baby on 10th July. Never have I imagined that I will go through this intense pain. I thought I will never make it. But finally seeing him made it all worth. But when I had to put him into phototherapy by myself I felt I am breaking into millions pieces each moment he spent in that machine. It was difficult for first few days but it made me stronger🥰

      I remember being told that parents normally have too cold bath water, so maybe try warmer?☺️ The water temperature drops very fast, so keep that in mind. I think the water should feel warm, but not burning. If it felt fine to my skin it should be fine to the baby as well. After all, they did come from inside of us where there is alot warmer than outside on our skin🙈

    Hey Bridget! I’ve heard some people are hesitant to take out their babies in public before they’re 3/4 months old to protect them from bacteria etc- do you have any recommendations for this? I’m also asking for “normal” times, not just pandemic times :).

    • @officialmakingmoneywithmama
      @officialmakingmoneywithmama 4 роки тому +7

      Brittany, I think it is personal preference and whatever YOU feel comfortable with. We started taking my baby out at about 3-4 weeks old.
      Personally I think it is good to expose them to the public early on so they can build antibodies.
      I would just give her a bath when we got home, make sure I got binky disinfectants if her binkies dropped, etc.
      Not saying I would take her to a crowded party or a sick infested crowd but a stroll through the park, a trip to the store, etc. 🥰
