We bath our 7 week old 3 times a week, a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then just a wipe down the other days☺️

Every other night for our 7 week old xx

We do alternate days for our 9 wk old. Then ‘top and tail’ with cotton wool every other day.

Once/twice a week. Top and tail otherwise. I’m a single mum after C-section and I was very sore trying to bathe him early on. I feel like he sensed that as he would scream the whole time. Recently he’s started enjoying them a lot more so I may up them as part of bedtime routine when it’s introduced.

Personally I do every other night. Helps with bedtime routine also hence why x

I only bath my 8 week old once per week, maybe sometimes twice per week. I asked my midwife how often we should be bathing him and she said once per week. She said realistically they don’t need it often at this age as If you bath them too often it dries their skin out and can make things like cradle cap worse

Once a week x

Pretty much every day

Twice a week xx

Probably twice a week

Every 3or so days

Around 2/3 times per week x

2x per week. More if he had a particularly gross blowout or spit up a lot.

1-2 times a week for my 7 week old

1-2 times a week for my 8 week okay, we shower though instead because she screams in the bath

Every 3 days or so. Once a week with baby shampoo, other times just water at 6 weeks as her skin is still so delicate I find. Started baby shampoo at 6 weeks hehe Wash her face, neck and behind ears and hands every morning as part of morning routine plus brushing her hair 😍 Washing her butt only when explosive poo came along lol otherwise just water wipes at every nappy

Thanks all. I think I’m on track then! ❤️

My little girl is 7 weeks and we bath every night as helps with bath, feed and bed routine x
