Grandpa teaches son to bathe baby<\/h2>\n
\n

For any first-time parent, expecting a baby<\/strong> is both an exciting and scary experience. On the one hand, they can\u2019t wait to meet their child, but on the other, the prospect of having to learn so many things about taking care of a baby is intimidating.<\/p>\n

During those confusing moments, it is understandable that we\u2019d turn to the wisest people we know \u2013 our own parents \u2013 for advice. One Vietnamese man, though, not only got such valuable advice, but also a detailed live demonstration of how to bathe a baby<\/strong> from his father, who used the family\u2019s cat as a model<\/strong>. A video of this special lesson shared online has melted netizens’ hearts thanks to its cuteness.<\/p>\n

The grandpa-to-be then moved on to show his son how to clean the baby\u2019s head. According to him, you must wrap the baby in a towel<\/strong> so that he or she doesn\u2019t get cold. Then, you put him or her on your lap, and use your hands to splash water up to wash the baby’s head and face. All the while, you must be careful not to let water get into the baby\u2019s ears. Take note, parents!<\/p>\n

The cuteness of the video has understandably moved netizens\u2019 hearts left and right. Many are impressed by how well-behaved and cooperative the cat was<\/strong>, seeing that it remained perfectly still the whole time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis cat has got to be an alien impostor. No cat on Earth could be this well-behaved. I\u2019ve had my share of [cat] scratches, so I know,\u201d netizen Chu Xu\u00e2n Th\u1ee7y whimsically commented.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the gentleness with which the man handles the cat also has people drawing connections to popular memes about the relationship between parents and pets \u2013 namely, how many moms and dads generally don\u2019t want to have pets at first, but quickly warm up to these furry blessings.<\/p>\n
