"But when my second baby was born at home, my midwife suggested we wait on the bath. She said vernix caseosa, the waxy coating on newborns’ skin, is a natural moisturizer and cleanser, and protects against infection. Plus, babies are not good at regulating their temperature, and being bathed doesn’t help. After a full 10 days of enjoying that fresh baby smell—and after the first diaper explosion—we bathed her."
