“Excessive bathing cause skin problems in babies” — Toke Makinwa
Media personality, Toke Makinwa has sparked conversations among new moms after sharing why she doesn’t bathe her newborn every day.
In her words, she said:
“I know I’m a new mom, and I’m literally just learning as I go, but I really think excessive showering causes skin problems in babies. Babies are not dirty. They’ve been inside the womb for nine months, and inside your womb is not dirty.”
She admitted that she once judged her sister for not bathing her niece every day, but after seeing the child’s healthy skin, she decided to try the same approach.
According to her, baby Yaya did not receive daily baths in the early months, sometimes only once a week. She added that she plans to start daily bathing when the baby is around four to six months old.
The on-air personality, who welcomed her baby a few months ago, noted that motherhood has taught her to unlearn old beliefs and embrace what truly works for her child.
