How to Bathe a Baby Part 1

Essential Dad and Parent Skills 2-3a: How to Wash a Baby Part 1

I get asked a lot about what helps dad bond with their kids. Well, I don't know about for everybody else, but me giving my baby a bath is usually the highlight of my day. It is a moment of total trust on the part of my daughter for me and total care on my part for her.

And afterward she is superclean and smelling like a bouquet of flowers. It's pretty tough on my back, but it is my moment with her. I actually don't let my wife do it! But maybe that is just me.

You might want to try it though! (Part 1 of 2)

@handsoff Hi Ashley! Enough people have poked me on doing a video that I finally did one last night. Hyparentallynormal Activity. It's just fluff to put smiles on faces.

In terms of the more relevant "how-to" which is why I created the channel, I think it's going to be a few more weeks, not just because life is crazy right now but because I've really covered the key skills needed during this time. If you have any specific questions or requests, just let me know. Dare. PS: Boy or Girl?

@handsoff Hi Ashley! Thanks so much and CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That's awesome! Can't wait to see some vlogs! Your bump is just starting to show now I'm sure. Probably already checking it several times a day in the mirror! :D

The song is called "Find my own way" by the incredibly talented Alex Wisner. You can find her and her music on myspace at: akwmusic
