We really enjoyed ourselves in this lesson. The nurse taught us how to bathe the baby, how to hold, swaddle & how to wear his nappy.
How to bathe the baby:
- Fill 1/3 of the bath tub with cold water
- Pour hot water till 2/3 of the bath tub
- Test the water with your wrist to make sure it is warm
- Undress the baby, leaving the diapersand wrap the baby up with towel
- Hold baby in football hold and wash the hair
- After that, cradle the baby and slowly lower into bath tub
- With 2 fingers holding the shoulders, support baby's neck on your wrist
- Wash neck, armpits, legs & groin. Especially the creases.
- Turn the baby over to his back, supporting with other hand. Be careful not to tilt too far until the baby's face is in the water. (Someone actually did that to the doll... )
I found out something new about cloth diapers. If we use the diaper cover over the cloth diapers, we won't need to use the safety pin. I'm going to get more of these diaper covers, saves so much trouble trying to get the safety pin on.
