A mother-of-four is being roasted online after she revealed that she is not planning on washing her newborn baby for a whole month because she said it's healthier for him.

Shahnta Hoare, 24, from Silverdale, Washington, recently gave birth to her fourth son with her husband, Tyler.  

However, the mom is now receiving a lot of scrutiny online after she announced that she has not bathed her son since his birth on May 6 - and that she has no plans to anytime soon.

The baby, named Ozzy, is still covered in the fluid that he was born with - known as vernix caseosa - but Shahnta insisted that they are not going to wash it off because it 'gives a protective barrier' to the baby and is 'an antimicrobial.'She also claimed that soap can dry out babies' 'delicate' and 'fragile' skin. A mom is being roasted online after she revealed that she is not planning on washing her newborn baby for a whole month because she said it's healthier for him
