How to Give a Baby a Bath

Heavy Handed Advice

Let me be very honest, just about the first time I'd ever held a baby--a real infant, was when my first daughter was born.

You really can't pre-practice bathing a baby. Now that I'm on baby #2, though, I feel more confident in How to Give a Baby a Bath and I'm Keep Reading >>>
