HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE available, with the mother's elbow — and more hot or cold water added as needed. The mother's hands are again lathered and the child's entire body — ears, neck, armpits, groins and back — carefully and quickly washed. The child is lifted into the bath with one hand under his shoulder and grasping the left arm, [photograph] Wash baby's head first. (Photograph taken at the Nursery Training School Wellgarth Road, London, N.W.11.) and the other hand under the buttocks. After a good rinsing he is replaced on the dry part of the towel and covered up while each separate part and crease is gently dabbed with the soft towel. Very little powder, if any, is needed, and that only in the creases when the baby is thoroughly dry. The baby is placed on his face and the clean clothes laid one over the other before he is turned and the dressing completed. Page Forty-four
