If ever you needed a tutorial on how to bathe a wriggly, wet, newborn baby, this tutorial from a soon-to-be grandfather to his son must be it. Spoiler – the cat acting as the newborn baby absolutely steals the show.
Here’s how to bathe a baby, featuring the family cat. #notawkward
It sounds like an unlikely cast but folks, you won’t believe your eyes at just how at ease this cat is in the baby bath. Sure, the lack of water does help in this particular instance, but you CAN actually see how to bathe a baby. You just have to pretend that the cat IS the baby.
Life lessons passed on through the generations
It’s important to pass knowledge on from parent to child, especially if you’re a first-time parent and that’s exactly what this grandpa was doing.
