How Not To Series: Drying a Baby
Posted on 10 06, 2009 under The Manual by foodad | Comments 
The fact is that even cute and cuddly babies get dirty. Whether you bathe them in the tub or in the sink, you need to be very careful when drying them off. In todays first installment of the Noodad “How Not To” series, we take a look at the proper way to get that little monster dried off.
I will start by explaining it here and then if you like, you can me demonstrate on the next page how to and how not to dry a baby. In coming weeks, we will return to Noodad Labs and enlist the help of stunt babies like Baby Alex to show you a good way to accomplish daily kid care tasks. Remember, the “How Not To”s are strictly that. Do not try these at home. Our stunt babies are here to demonstrate the perils of fumbling through fatherhood with no guide so that you do not have to!
When drying a baby, first star by putting the towel on your shoulder. Remember that the baby is very small and sensitive so you do not want to keep his or her skin exposed to the cold air for very long. Pick them up out of the sink or tub gently and place them on your shoulder. Keep one hand under their bottom and use the other handle to wrap them in the towel. You score some bonus points if you can actually get their head wrapped up like a Jawa.
