Bathing baby

Hi mummies, I have to admit till now i have not try to bathe my baby. He is already 5mo now. I am just not confident of bathing babies. Am I a failure mother? Or who else did not try to bathe yr baby too? My husband is the one who bathes our LO and now our helper. Even helper can bathe my baby so there is no reason for me to not do it?

It’s normal to be apprehensive, but at 5 months, your LO should be able to sit with support, so it’s actually a lot less scary to bathe him now:) Start by bathing him together with your husband, then you can gradually build your confidence and be independent in bathing your LO:)
