Bathing a baby is a way to clean the body, maintain the cleanliness of the umbilicus, and the neonate is given a sense of comfort. The impact of improper bathing can result in misery such as accidents (falling and drowning), water entering the ears and nose, and the baby experiencing cold stress, because the mother cannot bathe her baby and can cause hypothermia. To determine the description of the knowledge of postpartum mothers about bathing newborns aged 0-7 days. This study is a descriptive study. The research sample consisted of 30 primiparous and multiparous postpartum mothers. This study used primary data obtained based on the results of a questionnaire with the Accidental Sampling Technique. From the results of the study, it was found that postpartum mothers had a low level of knowledge in bathing newborns aged 0-7 days as many as 18 people (60%), and a minority had sufficient knowledge of 12 people (40%). The level of knowledge of postpartum mothers about bathing newborns at the Bertha Mabar Hilir Pratama Clinic, Medan Deli District is Low.
