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''.
