Nollywood actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has urged women with newborns not to bathe their kids every day.
According to her, bathing babies every day could potentially damage their skin.
Speaking in a video posted on her social media page, the actress, who just gave birth to her first child at the age of 40, stated that babies are naturally clean, emphasising that the womb from which they emerged is not dirty.
She revealed that she doesn’t bathe her child every day and advised her fellow nursing mothers to wipe their babies instead of bathing them daily.

“I really think bathing babies actually causes problems. Babies are not dirty. They have been inside the womb for nine months. Inside the womb is not dirty.
“I don’t bathe my baby every day because it is not necessary. Babies are not on the floor; they are not dirty or sweaty. So, why are you excessively putting water on their skin?
“Their skin is fragile. You can wipe them instead of bathing them every day. This helped me, so I’m just putting it out there,” she expressed.
Toke Makinwa’s advice to breastfeeding moms has gotten mixed feedback online, with many questioning her motherhood experience and nursing qualifications.
