Patient's question:
Is it okay to bathe a newborn who is sleeping? I'm very worried. My child has been like this for a long time, and I'm afraid it's getting worse.Doctor's answer:
Actually, there is no completely definitive standard answer regarding whether it's okay to bathe a baby when they are sleeping. Personally, I think it's best not to bathe a baby while they are asleep because their nervous system is not yet fully developed! This could scare the baby. It's better to wake up a newborn baby before giving them a bath rather than bathing them while they are asleep. I suggest waiting until the baby is awake before giving them a bath to avoid sudden exposure to water, which could startle them. This is not good for the baby.
