First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether teaching pregnant women a special wiping bath method for newborns affects when they first bathe their baby, the baby's body temperature, and how quickly the umbilical cord stump falls off. Researchers trained small groups of pregnant women on a baby model, then followed up after birth. The goal is to see if this simple training improves newborn care at home.
