How often do I bath my 6 nearly 7 week old?
I’ve been bathing her everyday for the past couple of days as she’s been really fussy and it relaxes her, but I’m not sure I’m bathing her too often.

I didn’t and still don’t do it that much because it may set the skin too much and it’s exhausting for all parties 🤪

I bath my 4 week old everyday, after throwing up milk all day and pooping like a machine it’s much needed for both of us at the end of each day 😊

We average once a week. If she has been held by others on particular days I might do an extra one. We flannel wash in between

We bath 2-3 times a week and on the other days we do a flannel wash just top and tail, he has bad reflux so spits up a lot so I don’t like the thought of him having sicky milk left on him. The midwives said there’s no need to bath everyday but if you want to you can x

Every other night with water and sometimes I use baby soap. Or as and when needed after a nappy crisis x

Also over 6weeks here, and we've been doing it every 3 days or so. Want to avoid drying her skin out as as its been sensitive. Once shes a tad older well done it more frequently for a nice routine.
