Ann asks,
 
<<Can anyone who has  literature supporting the initial bath please contact

me?>>

Jan says: 
 
"So the nurses can take their gloves  off, which they can't do until after
the initial bath peradventure the baby harbor HIV in the blood that is in
its crevices.
 
Not entirely tongue in  cheek."


Here's a thought.  Maybe nurses could take their gloves off and then NOT
touch, weigh, measure, poke, prod or otherwise interfere with the baby.
Maybe mothers could care for their babies at their breasts until they (the
mother and baby) are ready to get up and have a shower together.  Hmm ... I
can feel a revolution coming ...
