Do you bathe baby during confinement?

I had a DIY confinement, where I did help to bathe my baby. It was against the advice of my elder relatives, but I've yet to experience any side effects.

I only bathed my baby after 2 weeks to ensure my episiotomy wound has completely healed. I requested my mother in law's help for the first 2 weeks.

I bathe baby daily when we came home from hospital, nobody taught me how to, its just the maternal instinct and common sense taking control.

yes from my 1st till my 4th i bath them myself.I prefer to do it myself as being a mum it makes and gives me the feeling of love..

I got my grandma to help with bathing my newborn son. But I'll soon be taking over her duty after my confinement ends next week :)

Yes, I did! It was fun to learn and try on your own. As far as possible, I tried to learn as much as I could from the nanny!
