| i understand completely. both of my kids were only 5.5 pounds at birth and of course less than that when they came home.
i do, however, think that MOST women have an instinct when it comes to their children. now it doesn't always work that way, but honestly, bathing a baby is fairly simple. make sure water is not too hot. hold baby so won't go under the water, wash.
i don't get all the "hot" and "cold" stuff. my in-laws tried to explain it to me, but to be honest, ithink it's a load of malarkie.
as for whether the baby is too hot or too cold. i have a VERY strong opinion on that. i, personally, think that many locals WAYYYYYYY overdress their babies. i always read that you dress the baby in the same amount of clothes you would wear, + one layer. so that's what i always did.
anyway, i'm getting really side-tracked and off topic. back to yourtopic.
i do hope that if you have a second baby, that you will feel more confident this time round and save the money you seem to have wasted on this useless woman to either treat yourself to something, or treat your baby.
good luck!  |
