Keeping them clean?

[Kanga77510]

Does a mamma usually do this? I was handling the babies tonight and thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to clean feet with baby wipes from time to time. I mean, they do walk in their own poo.

Provide them with something to take a good dustbath in - a pan of dirt or sand - and they'll take care of their own bathing.

It is not possible nor adviseable to keep them too clean. They need to build immunity to germs and the only way is too have them on them. I know it looks bad and if there is one in particular that is really gooey ,wipe it off ,but not with antibacterial wipes just a paper towel and water.
