Well, here mothers and babies are not separated at all (unless there is a
medical reason). They don't get bathed either - that happens at any time in
the first few days, maybe after discharge.

Why bath the baby?  If there is a lot of blood, you can wipe it off
straight away after the birth,  but why is bathing considered necessary?
If it ain't dirty, don't wash it! : )
