Pre-natal Class 3

We learnt how to bath, swaddle and put on cloth diapers for babies. Before the class, we thought we would not have a chance to practise cos the class is so big. To our pleasant surprise, each couple get to have a "baby" to "play" with. It was fun! Some tips for bathing:

1. Bath water temperature should be 37 degree Celsius.
2. A drop of non-bubbly baby body wash in the bath water is sufficient for new born.
3. No need to use additional shampoo for babies until they are 3 months old.
4. Sing to the baby while bathing. Teach her to count her toes!
5. Mittens only need to be wore till 6 months old.
6. Mums to be delivering at TMC can sign up for the free breastfeeding and bathing lesson during the hospital stay. For a meagre $10, you get to try out the different breast pumps at Thomson ParentCraft before deciding which pump is the most suitable one for you.
