In Baltimore, Maryland, it was common practice in the seventies, in the
hospitals, to take the baby away from the mother and bathe the poor
creature at once.  Happened to our second, despite her mother's objections.
 Have to confess that as, chief resident in Pediatrics, I "sided' with the
nurse.

But Katherine, how can you call that part, the "dirty" part?  As well as
all those lovely germs that you want the mother and baby to develop
immunity to!
