INFANT BATH TRAUMA
I have a newborn baby that is now 6 weeks old. He slept well up until he was 3 weeks old. The mother of my child gave him a bath that appeared to have traumatized him. He started screaming in terror it appeared to me, She just proceded batheing him instead of comforting him.
From what I have been told, she should have only placed the baby in 2 inches of water and ensured he felt secure and comforted.
Since the day of the bath incident he has not slept well as he did prior to the bath. He will not sleep on his back as he did prior to the bath. And wakes up screaming in what appears to be terror. I do not feel the way he wakes up has anything to do with STARTLE REFLEX as some people have tried to tell me.
My question is, Is there any possibilty of short term or long term effects emotionally I should be concerned about?
