[blparent] [Bulk] bathing an infant

[Elizabeth Cooks]

I may do that with Joshua when he gets older, but I guess I'm afraid of some 
thinking it is inappropriate, given society's standards on things like that. 
Do you know i'm afraid to touch my son to see if he is thoroughly clean, 
just in case someone sees and thinks I'm molesting him? I just wipe with 
wipes a lot. I tokd my husband he's in charge of poty training him.
