How do you give a 6 day old baby a sponge bath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bathing baby: Enjoy it this is a payday! It is important to not let the umbilical cord get wet because it could then get infected easier. So keep the Tummy up and soak water all around the body and watch the slash fun happen. No soap. Doesn't need it. Dry well and keep the baby warm. After a while you and your baby will love this special time. Relax and enjoy it.
