First baths are scary. Gizmo was ten weeks exactly when I brought him home and his first day here he rolled around in his poop. I tried wiping him down with baby shampoo on a wash rag, but eventually had to go ahead with a full bath. They tend to get chilled and shiver VERY easily. I take my blow dryer on warm and low as soon as I get him out of the bath. I don't let him out of the towel (I use my kids old baby ones too--they work great!) unless I am drying him and even then I keep it around the areas I am not drying. I don't ever let him down wet or damp. He gets really cold. Now he enjoys the blow dryer so much that he even makes me put it on him when I drying my own hair. Congrats on your new baby!
