 daily bath for baby.

Daily baths for a baby are not necessary and could actually dry out their delicate skin. Experts generally recommend bathing infants about 2-3 times a week. Newborns often get sponge baths until the umbilical stump falls off, after which a regular bath can be given once or twice a week. If your baby enjoys baths and you want to bathe them daily, it is important to use fragrance-free, dye-free baby cleansers sparingly and moisturize their skin afterward to prevent dryness. Also, keep bath time brief (around 5-10 minutes) and ensure water temperature is warm but not hot for safety and comfort.

Key points:

First bath typically 24 hours after birth; sponge baths until umbilical stump falls off.

Regular bath 2-3 times a week is sufficient for cleanliness and skin health.

Daily baths are okay if your baby likes it but should be gentle with minimal cleanser use.

Avoid bathing immediately after feeding or when baby is hungry or tired.

Always supervise baby during baths to prevent drowning and burns.

This guidance balances hygiene with protecting the baby's sensitive skin and overall safety .
