I, too, am a big fan of therapeutic co-bathing. In my spot of the worldmap it
is not the belly button, but mom's uterus that makes doctors nog wanting mom
to bathe.
What I do is to explain that doctors, like all people can have different
visions and that where her it is the mom'uterus that makes them hesitate at
the other side of the globe it's baby's belly button. They see that it all
depends on the view of the culture a dr comes from and that what the dr says
is not a universal law.
Most moms then decide to try ''that bathing thing''.

Warmly greeting,
