Do I need to bathe my newborn every day?

Nope! 2–3 times a week is plenty unless they have a blowout or spit-up disaster. Over-bathing can dry out their sensitive skin.

A warm sponge bath with mild soap, then moisturize with fragrance-free lotion. You don’t even have to wash their hair every time—unless it smells like sour milk.

Think of it more like a spa day than a daily chore. Except with more screaming.
