Only if you want to. I mean, how dirty can a baby get really. 2 times per week is fine. However, make sure you clean his face and hands and under his neck daily with a warm wash cloth. Milk will get under his chin on his neck and bother him, not to mention it will smell bad! But other than wiping him down with a wash cloth a bath twice a week is perfect!

It is up to you how often you bath baby most of the mothers I know top and tail their children for a couple of days and then give them a bath on the third.But I bathed my son every night before settling him down to sleep to set a bedtime routine now at 20 months he knows that after his bath its story time then off up the wooden hill to slumber land.

I have nearly always bathed my son everyday because he sweats in his sleep and even when he was only on milk he still dribbled it everywhere and smelt but i think it has more to do with personal choice, some people bathe their baby everyday and some people only bathe them a few times a week
Do whatever makes you happy and fits in with your life best

I bathed my son 2-3 times a week, and I still do now he is 11 months old. If he is grubby after a hard day exploring, investigating and destroying then I give him a quick wash if it isn't a bath night.

I was advised to wash my babies hair 1-2 times a week give a proper bath 3 times a week and top and tail everyday (where you get warm water in a bowl and some cotton wool balls and wipe the eyes, nose mouth, under chin and bottom and genitals untill crawling around

IT depends on you I top and tailed my children at this age in the morning and then bathed them at night as part of a bed time routine. They both are very good at washing in the morning and have a bath most nights.I think the most important thing is to keep your babys bottom clean and dry.Hope this helps

You dont have to bath your child everyday its pretty much personnal preferrance.. you could give your child for ex.. a bath say 2-3 times a week and if you wanted you could simply give them a wet washcloth wipe down in between baths to refresh baby..

my wife and I have always bathed our children every night right from being 6weeks old but we always use a mild baby bath such as johnsons. Bathing at night can help to relax your baby and calm them before feeding them and laying them down for a sleep. However if your happy bathing your child every 2nd night then do that but just try and give them a wipe down on the nights that your not bathing them to keep them clean and fresh.

Bathtime for a baby is not only relaxing for them before bed, but can be a form of pleasure and playtime, and above all else for hygene purposes it's preferable, although a quick top and tail some nights is fine, I used to love bathing my baby, and used to get in the bath with her or put her in with hubby! good family time!

I bath my baby every day. I'll say you can bath the baby every 2nd day, because they do feel better when they had a bath. Depends on the weather as well. If it's hot, then I'll say every day.
