The parent should bathe the infant gently and not leave them unsupervised.

<h3>What are bathing instructions for infants? </h3>

An infant should not be bathed until it is a few days old to protect the vernix layer on its body which protects it from infections.

When a baby is brought home from the hospital, its head, body, and diaper area can be cleaned by a sponge. After the baby's umbilical cord falls off, it can be bathed by submerging it in shallow water.

The baby should not be submerged in water more than 2 to 3 inches deep. The Baby's head should be supported while putting them in the tub and the size of the tub should be in accordance with the size of the baby.

Therefore, the bathing instructions for the parents would be to bathe the infant gently and not leave them unsupervised.

How will you apply what you have learned about communication to develop better communication for yourself with teachers, family,

professor190 [17]

What I would do after learning more about good communication skills, is start an interesting topic with a friend. I would make sure to keep eye contact, and maintain good body behavior. By doing this, I will seem fully in the conversation. Another good idea when communicating with someone, is to think before you speak., knowing what you're going to say next will definitely make it easier to speak clearly.
