How often do you need to bathe a newborn baby?

Bathing your newborns around 2-3 times a week is fine. What you can do daily is to wipe their body with a damp gauze flannel especially in the creases (neck, armpits and groin). Some babies love their bath while some hate it, so sponging them down can ease a lot of stress. Daily bathing can also be a nice evening routine and a bonding opportunity with their Dads.
