I have made many good posts to www.Twitter.com . On that platform I may be found at @Christ1233X .
I agree with and abide by the first edition of the book " All about baby " , a soft cover small format book with no pictures , by Desmond Morris , 1978 . In this book he recommends not washing the Vernix Caseola or Vernix Vitellium from the skin of a new born . His rationale was that this greasy covering protected the new born from infections . However there is another function of this grease which he did not consider and that is it protects the sensitive skin from abrasion and pain ( over - stimulation ) . In the later editions which are titled " Baby " he advises to wash the Vernix Vitellium off because the modern day drugs can treat infection . This is bad medicine . I do not abide by or recommend these editions .
