In this video I demonstrate how to give a newborn a bath in the hospital. Bath time can be a great opportunity for educating the parents on normal/abnormal newborn characteristics, its also great bonding time for them and helps the nurse in establishing a therapeutic relationship with the patients.
Follow along and study by answering these questions.

1. What temperature does baby need to be to get a bath?
2. How long should we ideally wait to do a newborn bath?
3. What are the two ways we can take baby's foot prints?
4. Where are the 3 places vernix likes to hide?
5. Why do we do the head last?
6. Why can't we just hold them under a sink of running water?

Got a video request? Let me know in the comments below.
