@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]

@rebecca I’m sure that looking after a young pup has its challenges, and sometimes they may be similar to caring for a baby. But I don’t think that getting up multiple times a night to prevent the puppy messing the carpet is quite the same as caring for a newborn! In some ways, it’s more stressful.

When the time comes, you’ll discover that…[Read more]

@sauda Bathtime is often held to be almost a sacred moment shared between parent and child. I can’t say it was always pleasant with my kids, as pretty much all of them had sensory issues that made being in the water frightening or unpleasant at times. But still, we found our moments 🙂

@shavkat The secret they didn’t teach you in school is…[Read more]

@sauda While it is important to discuss abuse when we talk about punishment, it’s equally important to look at whether any kind of punishment is effective. There is no evidence whatsoever that punishment teaches right from wrong or that it instils values or good habits in children, adults, or even animals. In fact, what punishment tends to do is…[Read more]
