My newborn – what part do I not wash? – Birthing Center of New York

You just gave birth to a baby with good color, breathing is great, cry is loud and strong and baby is moving about well. Which part of the body should not dried?

Head
Back
Hands
Legs

Answer: (3) The hands. Amniotic fluid on the hands help baby find the breast. A babys hands have the scent of amniotic fluid on them and will help your baby find her mother’s nipple, which has a similar scent. For this important reason, your baby’s hands should not be dried and, it’s recommended that you do not wash your nipples before your baby breastfeeds.” This is a beautiful experience to watch!
