Carter's First Real Bath

Today Mr. Carter was given his first real bath in his baby bathtub.  His umbilical cord fell off about 5 days ago and his belly button is healed, so I gave him a good scrubbing.  I tried out Burt's Beeswax bathwash and lotion because it is supposed to be hypoallergenic. Carter smelt like a little ball of honey, yummy!!

Carter did great during his bath.  He didn't cry one time!  I pulled out all the tricks; steam, warm towel and outfit.  These sure do help baths for newborns.

 I found washcloths in the baby aisle at Target which are extra large and designed to keep baby covered and warm during a bath.  It worked great!

 Dried off, dressed, fed, now a nap....

 Life is good
