I am looking for research about when is best to do the newborn bath and anything pertinent to baths. I contend that doing it in the first hour after birth is too soon and unnecessary. It is also leading to temp issues where nurses keep sticking babies under warmers. I did a search of the archives
and came up with plenty of discussion of the issue but no research. Can someone point the way. IS there research on this, pros and/or cons? I have been commissioned to do a review of the literature, so of course, I am turning to this group that knows about pretty much all the research that has
anything to do with this issue. We are trying to minimize mother/baby separation and are finding this to be a huge issue at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I'm off to a conference in Ohio for the weekend, so please reply privately as well as to the list, if you wish, so I don't
miss any information
TIA
