Should the baby be bathed on vaccination day?

There is no absolute medical prohibition against bathing on vaccination day. The general pediatric view is that a baby without fever and not appearing distressed can have a brief, lukewarm bath on the same day. However, two points are worth noting: wash the vaccination site (generally thigh or arm) by letting water run over it rather than rubbing it; and observe your baby's general condition before bathing. If there is fever, excessive restlessness, or noticeable swelling/redness at the vaccination site, postponing bathing is more comfortable. Common clinical recommendation: after vaccination, for the first 24 hours do cleaning by wiping instead of bathing, then return to normal bathing the next day. The decision should be made based on how your baby is doing at that moment.
