I am doing a presentation at my hospital next week and would like to recommend delaying the infant bath.  I read guidelines from the CDC or WHO that discusses the risks of early bathing and I cannot find it anywhere.  Do any of you have the the link?  

The info I read states that early bathing can lead to problems with hypoglycemia and thermoregulation.  (not to mention the slumber these infants go into and never wake up to eat!!!!)

Thank you!
