After the cord stump falls off. And then only use water every other time. Too much soap could dry out that soft baby skin.

We had a nurse on the hospital ward who goes round and gives ur baby their first wash so its not in a bath exactly but they use the baby bath! And then we gave her her first proper bath at 10days old when her belly stump fell off x

Actually you can give your baby a tub bath right away now. They say that the baby is not in the tub for long amounts of time, so its fine to fully bath them in the tub. Although when my older kids were babies, you were supposed to wait... but not anymore...

depends on what type of bath your talking bout! Sponge bath right away but like putting her down in water, i had to wait til her cord fell off...bout 2weekish

I actually gave my daughter a bath before her cord fell off and kept it well taken care of. Her`s fell off within the first week so I guess it didn`t hurt it.

  1. The porn is back!! UGH!!!!!!!!
  2. ok ladies, my pictures are all gone from my profile but my blogs and polls are still there,.. i have been waiting to see if it was just a glitch and they would come back but they havent.. do i need to make a new profile to fix it?
  3. When did do you pack your hospital bag?
  4. Regarding Porn on Polls
  5. Went to see Man On A Ledge on Tues.......BRILLIANT!!
  6. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  7. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  8. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  9. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  10. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
