Delay shower for baby

Hi there all. I read up that it is recommended to delay showering of our newborn baby for at least 24hrs. Do the Spore hospitals allow that? Has any mummies requested for that? If yes, I was thinking to include that in my birth plan. TIA

I delivered at around 8am and nurses showered my baby at 11pm the same day, as I was discharged the following morning. Never heard of the 24hrs delay but you can check with the nurses when you’re in the delivery suite.

I didn't shower my baby but requested for a clean up because there's lots of blood of her. I'm sure you can request

from what i know, kkh no longer shower newborns due to their umbilical cord, they just clean them up
