my infant son taking a bath with his brother and UTI's?!
Question: My infant son taking a bath with his brother and UTI's?
Answers:
from what I understand, any tub bathing can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract, so regardless of how sanitary grandma's tub is or her bath linens, the other child's skin cells and little kid cooties could float around in the water. At three months, he's too young to be in a big tub anyway, so just very nicely say that Junior needs to be bathed by himself to keep his little system as safe as possible. Compare it to his having an open wound.
I would be very careful about giving him baths, and especially with someone else since he already has only one kidney. Make sure you do not use bubble bath either. I would just tell them the truth and that it could lead to an infection of his kidney. I am sure they will understand if you explain it to them.
