Newborn Query

2021-07-11 09:30:34
Hi.. I am a first time mom with 15 days old son. Need to get clarity on how often should I massage him, bath him and keep him in sunlight? His routine is not yet set. I had given him his first bath 2 days ago due to chord clamp. Have been sponge bathing him often. Please suggest! Thank you Preeti
