POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. For a 1-month and 10-day-old baby, it is generally safe to give your baby a bath 3 to 4 times a week. Newborns and young babies don't need daily baths because their skin is still delicate, and frequent bathing can dry it out. Instead, you can focus on wiping your baby's face, hands, and diaper area with a damp washcloth daily to keep them clean.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Bathing Frequency:
3 to 4 times a week is enough for most babies at this age.
You can use a gentle baby soap and shampoo during the bath, but avoid using too much, as baby skin can be sensitive.
Types of Baths:
Sponge baths are recommended until the umbilical cord stump falls off (usually within the first few weeks).
After that, you can transition to a gentle baby bath in a small tub or basin.
Tips:
Make sure the water temperature is warm but not hot (around 37°C or 98.6°F).
Always keep a close eye on your baby while bathing to ensure safety.
If your baby enjoys bath time and you feel they need it, you can bathe them more often, but generally, 3 to 4 times a week is sufficient at this stage.
