Just want to share my thought:
Attached photo are the way of baby bathing (using bathtub-warm water) that I think can reduce Urinary Tract infection ( UTI ) or other infection in a baby. This way of bathing is also applicable to a girl baby to reduce genital infection.
In my opinion, parent usually does not pay serious attention to this way of bathing because:
- The weather is cold/rainy
- The baby is sick/having fever
- Abnormal/weak baby that need incubator
- The water is rare
The benefit of this way of bathing:
- The water can clean the genital area/wash-out the potential virus/bacteria
- Sometimes there is soap in the bathtub which also having benefit to kill the potential bacteria/virus in genital area.
- This way of baby bathing has similar benefit with Japanese Jacuzzi for adult people.
In my opinion, this way of bathing should be informed to parents (both who choose to circumcise or not to circumcise their baby) , and I think this way of bathing can be done until the baby reach 2 years old.
