How often do you give your newborn a bath?

My LO is 6 weeks old and we aim to bath her every other day but just wondered how often everyone else does? ☺️

I do once or twice a week xx

I’d say 4 times a week though I find myself sometimes slipping into every day as part of routine

I bath my little girl (7weeks old) once a week as she absolutely hates a bath at the moment 😅. But I do give her a wash with a flannel every other day through out the week to keep her clean. However once she enjoys it more I want to make it more like 3-4 times a week but just not worth upsetting her over it at the moment

In the heat, I’ve been bathing my almost 7 week year old daily. Prior to that between 2-4 days. Sometimes when he has a poonami I will give a bath later that day.

My 10 week old has really bad colic and a shower really settles her so we have one every day, but I don't worry too much about washing her there unless it's been 2/3 days depending on the heat and what we've been doing

Avatar

Everyday, but it's just a spongedown because she likes the water and we save soap for when she needs it to not dry her skin.

I do a proper bath once a week. But usually bedtime routine included a top and tail with wet wipes or flannels x

Avatar

Been doing it everyday in this heat wave because he sweats loads 😩 but normally 2-3 days. He loves it and if he is really unsettled it helps him before bed.

Once a week for my boy and a wipe down in-between. He's 6 week tomorrow

Also daily in the heat wave but otherwise every 2-3 days with a top and tail on the days we don't. So they get used to a bedtime routine xx

My BG is 10 weeks on Tuesday and we are having bath every evening since weeks 4, it’s the only thing that helps her with the colics and she loves it

Every other day. Or even every day if there was a massive poop

Avatar

Usally daily if not every 2 days. But in heats like this twice a day sometimes as baby needs to cool down. My baby is 2m

Every other day - he loves bath time and he smells lush after 🥰

Once or twice a week

Avatar

Once a week - he loves baths. Sometimes two… I went to a class which said too often is bad for their skin. He has lovely skin. Sometimes every third day.

Avatar

Every night as it’s part of our bed wind down routine. He’s then down for the night at 9pm x

Avatar

Daily in the heat as he gets sticky but only with water. Normal bath is usually 2-3 times a week xxx

Everynight

Every night to establish a nighttime routine

Avatar

Every 2-3 days (9 weeks)

Avatar

Every night but we only use soap and shampoo every other day. It’s her bedtime routine and also to cool her down in this heat
