Title of study: A randomised controlled feasibility trial to determine whether families are willing to change baby bathing practice during the first months of life
We want to find out whether advising families to bathe their babies less often and less intensively might stop babies developing eczema. First, we will use qualitative methods to work with pregnant women and their families, and with health professionals, to develop an acceptable intervention which aims to reduce infant bathing frequency and intensity. We will then undertake a randomised controlled feasibility trial to estimate the proportion of eligible families willing to be randomised to the intervention, their adherence to the intervention and its acceptability.
