content: This program deals with Baby's first bath. Baby should not have a bath until his 5th to 7th day, and after the cord has fallen off. A nurse demonstrates the techniques of bathing a newborn. Tips are offered for avoiding diaper rash and how to control it if it develops.  Cradle cap can be helped by rubbing briskly with mineral oil. Most birthmarks will disappear in the first year; more severe ones will need medical treatment.
