Hey there, fellow parents! So, you’ve got a little one and are probably wondering how often you should be giving them a bath, right? Well, let’s dive into it (pun intended) and clear up some of the confusion.
Bathing Frequency Based on Age
When it comes to bathing your baby, the frequency really depends on their age and what they’ve been up to. For newborns, it’s typically recommended to bathe them about 2-3 times a week. Why? Because their skin is super delicate and can dry out easily, so you don’t want to overdo it. Instead, you can give them sponge baths with a soft, damp cloth to keep them clean in between.
As they get a bit older and start to crawl or eat solids (oh boy, the mess!), you might want to increase bath time to every other day or even daily, especially if they’re having a particularly messy day! Just keep in mind that every baby is different, so feel free to adjust based on your little one’s needs.
