Toke Makinwa’s baby bathing advice has stirred debate after the actress urged mums not to bathe newborns daily, saying it may harm their skin

In a video shared on her social media page, the actress — who recently welcomed her first child at 40 — explained that newborns are “naturally clean” and do not require daily baths. According to her, babies should be gently wiped rather than exposed to water every day.

“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,” she said.

Makinwa revealed that she does not bathe her own child daily, insisting that newborns are neither sweaty nor exposed to dirt.
“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 added.

Her comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some mothers agreeing that newborns have sensitive skin, while others questioned her experience as a first-time parent and criticised her for offering medical-style advice without professional qualification.
