A midwife in maternity ward will show the mothers how to hold, dress and undress the baby and when to pick him up when a baby is held, the back of his head by himself for more than one or two seconds but don’t worry if his head does flop occasionally, it is more likely to alarm than harm him.

The midwife will also show the mothers how to the baby the water should be comfortably warm when tested with your elbow. Them baby is lowered gently into the water, with his shoulders and the back of his head supported by one hand arm and with just his face showing above water. Use baby soap.

If the baby cries, the mother hould go to him. He may be in uncomfortable position. Feel correct position. There is no right answer. Some expert think a baby is safer on his side or stomach because if he is sick, any vomit will dribble out of his mouth and allow him breathe freely. Others point out that a baby on his back can see more of the word and this is good for his learning.
