Popular media personality Toke Makinwa has said that she does not bath her baby every day. She recently addressed new mothers on the unconventional approach to bathing a newborn, and fans have been reacting.
In a video clip, the former OAP revealed that frequent bathing might actually be detrimental to her infant’s sensitive skin.
According to her, babies, having spent nine months in the womb, are not inherently dirty; therefore, they don’t need daily cleansing.
Toke stated that she considers herself a new mother who is still learning on the job.
“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 said.
Makinwa further noted that she previously judged her sister for an identical bathing approach with her niece, but now she knows better.
Toke concluded by saying that observing the positive impact on her niece’s skin health made it clear that her sister was doing the right thing.
