I am just writing because nobody told me this before i gave birth, but luckily i gave birth in a hospital with professional staff. So dear mothers, DELAY THE FIRST BATH. Your baby is clean, the vernix just helps the baby regulate the temperature and protects them against infections. The bath can wait flr 24 hours. Also it is proven that not putting the newborn through stress so quickly gives a better chance of successful latching and you can also enjoy the skin to skin for longer.
