Hello mga mommies

Hey! So honestly, it really depends sa family mo and kung ano ang comfortable for you both! The old tradition is hindi talaga magbigay ng tubig sa baby for the first weeks, parang 7 to 14 days, dahil sa takot ng lamig at sakit. But a lot of us ngayon, we do a gentle lukewarm sponge bath or quick wash ng baby earlier na, especially if sila ay dirty or malaki ang sweat. Para sa iyo, yung 40-day confinement thing ay more about rest and staying warm, hindi talaga na prohibited mag-shower, mainit man lang ang tubig at brief lang ang exposure. Someone in my mum group mentioned na nag-compromise sila: no baths for first week, pero sponge baths lang, then regular baths by week 2 or 3 na. The real thing is, kung baby's okay and clean, walang harm, mas importante ang comfort ng mom at baby at na-establish na ang feeding. Yung bathing schedule is flexible depende sa ninyo!
