Subject: [ozmidwifery] Re: bathing babies
Pardon my ignorance, but what would be the risk of infection?
I think as long as the babe's temp is ok and it hasn't been compromised in
any way it doesn't really matter. As long as the parents are happy. I
certainly wouldn't be bathing the baby if the parents were unable to
participate, at any stage after the birth.
A bath is a bath, I don't think we need guidelines or a rationale, surely?
( I seem to remember posts about this subject earlier in the year, am I
right?)

Dear fellow list members,
What is your practice regarding the timing of the first bath, in a
hospital
setting? One of my colleagues is re-examining our current practice of
delaying the first bath until approx 24hrs, and after babe's temp is
confirmed to be normal. We are keen to know the rationale for other
midwives' practice, including it's impact on the infant's temperature
and
risk of infection.
Your input would be most appreciated.
Nicole Carver.
