1 Answer

A. Newborns need a bath only 2-3 times a week. A ‘top and tail’ on other days is fine.Before bathing your newborn, make sure everything you need is within reach.Wash newborns in a shallow bath of warm water. You don’t need soap.Never leave babies alone in the bath. They can drown quickly in very shallow water.
