A newborn’s first bath should ideally be delayed for at least 24 hours after birth, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and sponge baths are recommended until the umbilical cord stump falls off, usually within a couple of weeks. Hospitals often follow this recommendation, but if a full 24 hours isn’t possible, a delay of at least 6 hours is advised. #newbornbaby #newbornbath #medical #hospital #midwife #midwifery #midwifelife #MidwifeOnDuty
