Can baby nurse after bathing? I wanted your opinion before going to the doctor.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

There's no problem nursing your baby after bathing, actually it can be a comforting and relaxing routine for many babies that even helps them sleep. Baby's body temperature drops slightly after bathing and this combined with skin-to-skin contact during nursing helps baby feel secure.

Just two small things to pay attention to: Dry baby quickly after bath so they don't get cold, and nurse in a warm environment. Also if baby was very hungry before bathing, a short nursing session before bath then bath might be preferable — so they're both full and comfortable.

If you notice any unusual breathing, discomfort, or discoloration in baby after bathing, then consult your doctor. But in a generally healthy baby, nursing after bathing is safe and enjoyable.
