Got to jump on this one.
When my son was born 2 years ago at 7 PM, my husband deposited him on my
belly and chest immediately after his birth. He latched on and nursed
like a champ right away. I, then dad, held him for the next 8 hours.
Sometime after the first two hours he was weighed. We let go of him
briefly for that but everything else happened while we held our son.
Dad asked if a nurse would show him how to sponge bathe the baby prior
to our discharge. This happened in our room, under the warmer, next to
my Labor/Delivery/Recovery bed so I could watch too. I think our son
was bathed about 2:30 in the AM. This happened at a hospital in
Portland, Oregon.
Now that we know *how* to bathe a newborn, we'll probably wait until we
get home in our own time to bathe our next baby. I never before really
gave it a thought about getting him bathed right away or waiting.
