The origin of the saying: “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” is often misconceived to come from the most absurd myth. Supposedly, due to the recycling of bathtub water during the Medieval era, by the time the baby was given a bath the water was clouded by dirt.
Therefore, mothers had to be extra cautious not to, quite literally, throw the baby out with the bathwater. This strange phrase is actually attributed to satirist and writer Thomas Murner, who first used it in 1512, referring to watching over your valuables.
