"Hi, I'm Liz Hood on behalf of Expert Village and right now I am going to show you how to wash the baby's body.

On his body it's best to start with his face, which is going to be covered in another section, but on his actual body I like to start out with the hands because he likes to put those in his mouth and as soon as you get those clean go ahead and rinse it off because you don't want him to put soap in his mouth.
