I don't know about you but I walked through the door with this
brand new little baby, placed him in the bassinet and said to my husband, "what do we do now?" He looked at me and said "I don't know".
Now there is no hospital staff or doctor to guide you. Family and friends may have not come to visit yet and you feel silly asking
someone a simple question like "what do I do next", right?
You are not alone! So many questions were racing through my mind.
I wasn't sure of things like when to feed him, how much to feed him, when to let him sleep, if I should wake him up and the scariest
question....How do you give him a sponge bath?
That umbilical cord made me so nervous! What were the steps? I wish I had a brochure
or something. So, I searched and searched on the internet and finally found the steps for a baby's first bath.
Luckily you won't have to search that hard because it's right here for you along with the answers to so many other questions
I had that you might have too!
