I don’t know how to bath a newly born, but I am watching at my mother when she is doing it to her grandson, my nephew. It is hard from watching it as you will be scared to hurt the baby and the skin of babies are so delicate that you would prefer to use gentle/mild soap, that are especially for babies because it will hurt their eyes and leaves to…[Read more]

@ruby3881 I did not know such jugs exist as well. When my baby was in the first month, I bathed him in the basin in the bath room. Well, I actually put a small wash bowl in the basin, held him with my left hand, put him inside the wash bowl and use a handkerchief to “wash” him. As I was going through the c-section surgery, it was not convenient…[Read more]

@kaka135 In my son’s case, it’s part of his autism. But I know a lot of kids don’t like water to get into their eyes or around their mouth and nose. They become frightened that they will drown or that their eyes will burn. It panics them, which just makes matters worse.

There are now some specially made jugs for bath small children. A friend of…[Read more]

@peachpurple That’s really quick you learned how to bathe your first baby. Was it just the second day after she was born? I was going through the c-section surgery and my wound still gave me much pain, so I just learned to bathe my first baby after the first month.

I heard about using “black tiger beer” to bathe the baby, and I always thought…[Read more]

@shavkat There are some prenatal courses for expected parents, hence I think bathing the baby might be included in the course.

Yes, it is really wonderful to watch a kid growing up, especially when you watch her from a newborn baby, then toddler, young kid, and later growing up to be a young adult, etc. I always agree that the first three…[Read more]

@ruby3881 I have seen some young kids screaming really loud and badly when taking shower, especially when pouring water over the head. I actually do not understand why the kids feel so insecure while taking the shower, at first I thought if it is because of some not so pleasant experience they have got previously. Perhaps it is just normal for…[Read more]

I also don’t have kids cely but I have the experience it’s good learn try and you will never regret it I assure you.

wow your a strong mum dealing with a autism child is not easy it takes a lot of patience am really proud of you, am just amazed at how you deal with your child and that is so impressive. keep up the good work, and if I may ask are you able to feed him while he takes a bath?

yeah when it happens in reality, it might turn the other way round.

Do you know how to swim?

Actually, you can teach your mom and wife to learn swimming, then you don;t have to save them either!

Me I think it is a good idea to learn this things early in life so that when you get there you have a pretty good idea of what you are getting into. it is a scary affair really especially if it is a first time but for me my mum is a nurse so it was easy for me learn from her with my sister’s kids. it was awesome being able to hold a young child by…[Read more]

I never experienced spanked by my parents and even my elder sisters and brothers.That is why I dare not spank my cute and little and noisy nieces and nephews hehehe. I just talk to them telling them to observe silence for other members at home are having high blood pressure, and they stopped.

I am singe and never been married, so no kid and no experience bathing an infant. bathing an infant needs extra care for the baby is so vulnerable.

You have said it very well teaching a child when they are still toddlers is good. that way they get to be responsible but there are some children who can be very unruly sometimes that may require a little beating. I don’t agree with beating them all the time because they could get used to it and that could stir trouble. being able to talk to the…[Read more]

the first time I learnt how to bathe my newborn baby right after birth was the first day when we came back home.

My mom-in-law taught me to use “black tiger beer” mix with warm water to bath my baby , she said there is a tradition belief that beer will make the baby stronger like a tiger, brave and…[Read more]

I very much agree with you, @shavkat. The more courses for everyday living skills our kids can get in school, the better! I think it just goes along with learning to cook, clean, budget, and care for their health.

@kaka135 My son used to scream blue murder when we bathed him. I would worry that one of the neighbours would call the police because they thought we were in some way abusing him! he has always loved the water but with all of the challenges his autism presents, he also felt insecure in the bath when he was a little boy.

Even today, now that he’s…[Read more]

@peachpurple I agree with you, I think we are often too busy with other stuffs. Though I am with my children all the time, and  I know connection is important, I still think I am not doing enough especially when I am busy with my work or tired.

I actually prefer some bonding time with my children, especially body contact or physical…[Read more]

@shavkat It’s good that you have the experience even before you become a father. I agree with Kyla, I think it has nothing to do with female or even mother, I do agree that we have to be extra careful while taking care of a baby, especially the first few days or first month. I think when we hold and take care of them with love, it will not be as…[Read more]

@sauda I am a mother of 3 children and having a newborn baby now, so yes, I have bathed a baby. I have not bathed or take care of any baby or child before I have my children. It’s good that your mom taught you how to take care of a child.

I have always heard from others, it is so difficult to handle a newborn baby, especially when bathing them. I…[Read more]
