There skin is still very sensitive and they don’t need to be bathed everyday. 2-3 times a week is more than enough and in between those days you can wipe them with a warm cloth around there neck and face to freshen up. 💛

We’ve bathed ours everyday since his stump fell off (almost 6 months). We haven’t had any problems with his skin drying out as we use lotion after every bath. We incorporated it into our bedtime routine and it works like a charm!

I bathe my baby everyday. Culturally, we bathe our babies everyday and moisturize their skin really well 😊

Every other day or as needed. My second baby is 4 month old (almost 5) and I still bathe every other day or as needed.

Every alternate day after the stump.

My son has pretty severe eczema so we only do a true bath 1x per week. We do cloth wipes downs every night.

After the first month every day, it helps them to sleep better in my opinion.

At that age we did a bath every other day, with soap being used every other bath, as instructed by our doctor. Now at 17 months old we do a bath every 2-3 days or as needed, with shampoo and soap and conditioner, and if he needs a bath the day after a bath we do just soap and conditioner, and an additional moisturizer after bath so it doesn't dry out his skin.

Everyday as the weather is quite warm these days

Mine is 7 months now, but I have bathed him once a day since he was born, but again it’s a personal preference,

We did once a week for the first couple months. I had two back to back so it was harder to squeeze in more than that. I think however you do it will be ok! Seems like people do a range of amazing routines 👍

I didn’t bath my baby for the first couple of weeks and at the moment she is bathed once a week. My toddler gets bathed once every other night and it’s been that way since he was a few months old, but it was more to build a bedtime routine than about him being clean as babies don’t tend to get dirty xx

Just make sure the cord has fallen off and the belly button is dried before giving baby first bath xx

I bathed my son every other night until he started walking. Newborn skin is delicate and they don’t get very dirty. A soft rag with warm water and small amounts of soap on their face, hands and neck rolls (if applicable) is plenty! You want to keep those areas clean as that’s where milk is likely to collect throughout the day from feeding.

I did once a week for about 1.5 months then every 2 days and right now we’re doing every other night… he’s currently 9 months. When he starts fully walking I’ll do every night
