Question
Can newborns bathe while asleep? My child has been bathing during sleep, but I’m worried about any severe consequences.
Answer
There is no completely definitive answer to whether newborns can bathe while asleep. Personally, I believe it’s best not to bathe a baby while they are sleeping, as their nervous system is not yet fully developed and they are prone to startling. It is recommended to bathe the baby after they wake up to prevent them from being startled by sudden contact with water. This is better for the baby.
