I'm interested in what new parents have been told about bathing their babies. Specifically what are you told about using soap/baby wash and what, if anything, was used on your child in the hospital. Did you find the hospital you gave birth at had a common guideline for the use, or not, of soap or other products on newborns. Did you get any samples in Bounty bags of products? What are your opinions on the use of soaps in the first 6 weeks of life?

All answers welcomed please, I am trying to push through a policy change in my local hospital and would be interested to know if other hospitals act similarly wrt perfumed products on young babies.
