We should avoid feeding the baby before or after a bath.
Hello,

However you would like to. There is no set timing for bath. Babies do well with consistency and a routine. So many people incorporate bath time into the bed time routine. For example, feed, bath time, then bed. Or bath time, feed, and then bed. Whichever works for you and the baby.
It really does not matter. Many infants fall asleep during a feeding. If this is your baby, bathe first. Remember babies only need to be bathed every 2-3 days.
Hello

I don’t think it really makes a difference. Either way is ok.
