When Reed was three days old, we gave him his first sponge bath. We tried our best to bathe him in his tub but the water kept running down towards his umbilical cord so we resorted to bathing him on towels like they did in the hospital. He honestly didn't cry very much during the bath, which was a relief. He absolutely loved having his hair washed! He continues to be very good during bath time. His umbilical cord fell off when he was 12 days old this past Thursday, so we are really looking forward to giving him his first bath in his tub (yes, I have bathed him since then but we were at my parents house without the tub). It should be a lot more fun than the sponge bath he has been receiving.
Chris doing his best to keep Reed calm while I bathed him.
He loved us washing his hair. It probably had something to do with the fact that he was warm in his towel instead of being exposed and cold.
That look seems to say "thanks mom and dad for getting me so clean", lol!
We have the same bathtub!!
