How often do you bath your babies

Exactly that. My baby is 10 weeks old and bathe him one/two times a week but not sure if this is enough!

The first few weeks we didn't bath her. Just washed areas that needed. Had her first bath at around 5 weeks. She's 13 week now and we try to do it every evening for a routine (she falls asleep 2 hours after and settles properly if she's bathed) plus she loves splashing around 😄 have been doing it most days for a few weeks now. Should cut down on washing her hair every time though 😅

Daily as part of bedtime routine but only because they both loved it! If they'd disliked it, I'd have done it every other day until weaning. Once they wean, it's so hard to get bits of food out of the neck creases without a bath!

Ours has been bathed daily since about 3 weeks old... But that's because he was colicy and bathtime made him stop crying for 15 minutes. Plus it gave us an opportunity to try and make his hands stop smelling like cheese, he didn't open them up for absolutely ages.

He's 20m now and still loves his baths.

You don't need to bathe them more frequently than you are doing if it works for you!
