Sponge Bath


So,
the baby didnt smell like B.O. or anything, but it was time to give baby eleanor a sponge bath.

Why? Well sometimes babies born after their due date can go thru a rapid exfoliation process. Dont be alarmed if the baby gets all flaky and peels. Thats normal.

So we needed to get this "DDae" off the babie. MAN! She is only 19 1/4 inches, but that whole 19 and 1/4 inches was exfoliating, Save the face area.

We had to watch out for the belly button area of course. I think they gave her an "innie" we'll see.

My Mother in Law and Wife tortured my little angel with warm water and washcloths. It was pretty grody. When i exfoliate in the bathtub, by the end you have like a haze floating on the water.

Well the baby tub had the same haze. She truly is the product of my seed. My progeny.
She has yet to master optimal flatulation volume and depth, the diaper hampers the volume, but she has potential. In due time.

Ok , bathing her was toturous, but still cute.
One of the digicams at home has the shot of her being dried off.

So we got most of the flaking skin off, and dried her off. new diaper, and bam, she was happy.

So if your baby flakes up, dont be alarmed, dont lather her up with lotion. Just know the baby is regulating herself.
also, they said no soap of any kind on the face yet.

Just lots of kisses from Mommy and Daddy.
