Now, you are all ready to sing, “Splish-splish, splash-splash, let me take the newbie to bath!!”
All babies are different. It is necessary and always advisable to consult a professional and trusted doctor. This is especially in case you have questions or doubts. (or any other concerns like, say, a sudden change in your baby’s appearance or behaviour).
