86 days: In the bath he goes

DADDy gives Alfie his first ever bath. Until now we have had to wash him with antiseptic wipes, which ward off infection but feel horrible and cold.

the nurses have shown lewis how to wrap Alfie in a muslin so he feels secure, as though he were still in the womb, then gently lower him into the water and loosen the muslin. His eyes widen and he begins to kick as he feels the warm water. He loves his bath — and still loves it today.
