WHERE IS THE INSTRUCTIONS & OPERATING MANUAL ???

Thinking back of JJ's first bath ( by the both of us ), it makes me laugh when I think about it. I thought I could do it quite well without any trouble ( Used to be a Staff Nurse and bathed baby in the nursery, and also was shown how to give JJ a bath in the hospital before I was discharged ), but I failed the first time. We even bought a bath support before he was born to make things easier, but while we were at Ian's parents' home, we used a baby bath tub and here's what happened.

We placed him in the bath and to my horror, I forgot how slippery babies could be. HIs little head flopped all over the place and he kept shouting and screaming his lungs out, and the worst part is that he kept going round and round the tub. I panicked and I thought he was going to go underwater. Well, anyone reading this can laugh about it, but it wasn't funny that time. WHERE WAS THE INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL THAT SHOULD COME WITH OUR BABY ??? Was glad to be back in London on Monday coz since then we have no problems giving him a nice bath. It is meant to be relaxing the baby, but I think the way I did it just made him distressed ! :o) Here's a pic of our bath support ! It is a MUST HAVE THINGY !

Also, there's a little problem changing little boys. I have discovered that after a few major accidents. I always end up changing his whole outfit and use up at least 2 nappies whenever accidents happen. One major accident was when I changed him on the floor.....My legs were just right in front of him teeny weeny bum and after I have finished cleaning him up and getting ready to put a new nappy underneath, I heard some ''explosion '' and felt something warm ''shooting'' at my leg. To my surprise, it was poop all over the changing mat, on the floor and ON MY LEG !!! Aaargh ! Warm and slimy ! Then I had to clean it all up and got ready to put the next new nappy, and I felt a shower on my face. This time it was PEE !! All over me, and on his face and outfit. That was hilarious, but it's still a learning experience. Now I put disposable changing mats on the proper changing mat and then change him. It works !
