How to bath baby?

For Chinese, during confinement, the mother if possible, should not touch water too much. The reason is that water is cold, and could cause "wind". Hence, during confinement, I actually did not bathe Kit Yi. All the bathing was done by the confinement lady or better known in Cantonese language as "Pui Yuet".
I only bath Kit Yi once during 26th days of the confinement, just for practise, while the confinement lady witness the entire process, helping and remind me of the steps I might have forgotten.

During the early days, I thought that I could not handle bathing Kit Yi alone, as she was so small. Hence, my husband after getting advices from other "mother" friends, he bought a bath support for me. Mesh bath support from http://www.littlewhiz.com. This bath support is design to keep mums hands-free during bathing. Below is the picture of the bath support, taken from Littlewhiz website. The support cost RM22.90.



After the confinement lady has left, I actually bath Kit Yi without the support, and I can manage it without any issue. How do I bath Kit Yi? I will update later.
