Babies have lived in water for nine months (longer than they've been out of the water), so don't let anyone fool you into saying "babies don't like bath time" or "babies don't like the water." They're just doing something wrong!

Read until the very bottom, where we give you a suggested newborn bathtime routine that will help ensure there are no more tears in the tub.

Learning to adjust to this new chapter of your life can be overwhelming. Your body is recovering from labour and/or birth, your hormones have abruptly shifted to support your babe outside the womb, and you’re getting to know your little one; their likes, dislikes, and personality. This is definitely not the time to ‘snap back’ to life as it was before. Your life is different and most people need help navigating that transition. And that’s where your postpartum doula comes in.
