I thought I'd start trying to take her in the shower with me every second day as I've heard some babies like this. But I've found she doesn't blink and the water makes her eyes red Poor little thing.
1. Should I be bathing my baby everyday? we were told every few days, but DS has eczema and gets grumpy and irritated after baths... so sometimes I've let him go for a week! stinky baby lol!
We tried a shower for the first time the other day - he didn't know WHAT to make of it - he was all googly eyes
2. Is it better before or after a feed...I'm thinking after a feed as she would be more relaxed (although she has colic so often is crying straight after a feed until I can settle her to sleep) - I was told at night & after feed, it relaxes them - but it doesn't work for us (cos of the grumpy itch factor), so we tend to be pretty opportunistic. It's usually in the day time after a giant poo!
3. Should I be putting her in pj's every night already? I just sleep DS in whatever is stretchy, comfy & about the right weight for the temperature. ATM it's so hot he's usually in short-sleeves or sleeveless bodysuits.
Poor little thing.
