5. Washing the baby with a wet cloth:
It is forbidden to soak a cloth into water in order to wash down the infant. Nevertheless, one may ask a gentile to do so.[1]
_________________________________
[1] As all Melachas which occur unintentionally are permitted to be performed by a gentile even if they are inevitably done as a result of the action the gentile was asked to do. Thus, although the Melacha of whitening is performed when soaking a cloth in water, one may nevertheless ask the gentile to enter the cloth into the water as the gentile is not being asked to whiten the cloth but rather to soak it. [Admur ibid]
