It depends on how dirty they're getting, and how dry their skin is. If the baby is learning how to eat solids or spits up a lot, then you can either bathe him or her every other day or so, or just wipe him up with a wash cloth frequently. However, if the baby has dry skin and doesn't get very dirty, he only needs a bath about once a week.
A wet wash cloth on the face and neck, plus thorough diaper changes can really extend the time between baths. But then again, if the babe likes baths and doesn't have dry skin issues, he can have a bath as frequently as you want!

It may depend on the environment in which you live, but because of a babies immune system, I'd say that the best thing to do would be to bath the baby each night before putting him/her to bed. I would also bath him/her after contact with a lot of people. This may sound a little strange, but it may prevent the baby from getting sick.

Every couple of days will be fine. Make sure that on the days you don't give them a bath that you wipe them down real good with a washcloth especially under their neck and chin area also their hands cause they put them in their mouth alot!!! If you give a baby a bath every day it can dry out their delicate little skin.

You need to keep their sweaty parts clean and dry several times a day. In between the folds of skin, where their legs meet their torso, their bottoms, under their arms, etc. A full fledged bath should be given every 2-3 days. Enjoy parenting!

At that age, I bathed my daughter about every-other day. There isn't a magic number, it really depends on your child and how dirty he/she gets. I know people who bathe their babies/toddlers every day. As long as it doesn't dry out their skin, it's fine. Sometimes you can "spot wash" them. If they recently had a bath, and get just a little messy, you can get a washcloth with warm water and a little dab of their baby wash and wipe them off.

Once a day, unless they are sick. Nightime baths are the best because it relaxes the baby and they sleep great! :)

if they like baths then give it to them whenever you want to, my son loves his baths and he wanted me to give him his bath every night before bed and still does hes only 22 months old, but otherwise everyother day is fine to if they arent dirty
