A. yes can give now there is no problem in giving daily bath to the child (all season) whether it is summer winter or rainy season. the thing that you have to to take care of his that you have to prevent temperature variations when you uncloth and then cloth the child during the process of bathing. it is important to use warm water in which the child is comfortable.(can use a room heater to prevent temperature variations during clothing and unclothing of the child). also you can go for it anytime of the day but afternoon would be a better option. during illness as well as disease process also daily bath is very important for the child. not related to vaccination

A. Yes you can because it is a decent inner weight for your child as of now that your child is maintaining so you can give a bath to the child comfortably not a problem if you want to give it every day then also it is good otherwise alternate day is just fine
