should we be doing this?

It is wild that babies don't come with an instruction manual....that you can be discharged from the hospital without proving that you know anything about child care & safety....and we survive. Ada's umbilical cord finally fell off which gave us permission to give her a full blown bath. She seemed completely content with bath time. I personally have never understood baths. Yes, they are very relaxing, but how clean can you really get when you are sitting in your own grim and the water gets cold. I am a shower person. On vacation I will sometimes splurge my time on a bath, but feel the need to shower afterward. Which all leads me to another plug. I know I have been issuing a lot of them lately, but why stop now. Ada has the best bathtub ever. If I had a tub like hers then I would completely become a bath person. It has continuously clean water and the water is always warm. This tub remedies all my personal problems with a bath. If only I could fit. Clean Water Infant Tub

So despite lack of instruction manuals and proved abilities Ada's first bath was a success.
