Bathtime

How often is everyone bathing their 5 week olds? Our gal is very refluxy and often stinks by the end of the day :’) I have been wiping her down but it’s not as good as a bath but I don’t want to hurt her skin! Thanks

I've been doing every other day for my little one cause she gets way too stinky otherwise.

We bath once every 3 days ish! If he was sick on himself I would bath straight away if at home 😊

I have been bathing my girl 3 weeks, every other day or more. Just with a sponge and warm water for like 5 mins. Just to keep her clean and have a little bit of routine. Not sure it what’s best. Xx

My baby is 8 weeks old, and I bath him every 2 days, but actually I’m thinking about bathing him everyday 😄

My daughter is 4 weeks, we bath every night around 6.30/7pm, not through necessity but the water really seems to soothe her and sets her up for a better night's sleep. We only use soap about twice a week, other than that just plain water, she's a water baby!

My baby is 3 weeks old and we’ve been bathing him roughly every 5 days or so. When my midwife was discharging us I asked how often you should bath them and she said not very often as it strips their skin of the natural oils etc and babies are super sensitive while they adjust to being outside the womb. She was pretty old school but I’m going with it as I bathed my first born every other day and she got terrible baby acne, dry skin and cradle cap. So far so good for baby no 2 we’ve had none of those issues

Once or twice a week xx
