When - and how often - should I bathe my baby? For adults bathing is typically a daily event. But your newborn doesn’t need a daily bath. In fact, too much bathing can quickly dry out their delicate skin. And where it was once commonplace for your baby to be bathed within the first few hours after delivery, many hospitals are moving away from the practice. This is true for a couple reasons. First, babies are born covered in a waxy substance called vernix. Vernix - which protects your baby’s skin in utero - is both a natural moisturizer and an antibacterial barrier that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends be left on infants’ skin in the hours immediately after birth. Hospitals are also increasingly prioritizing maternal bonding and the initiation of breastfeeding over an initial bath. Indeed, one study documented a 166% increase in breastfeeding initiation when infants’ first baths were delayed at least 12 hours after birth. (The World Health Organization recommends waiting at least 24 hours.) At home, it’s recommended that you begin with sponge baths only until your baby’s umbilical stump falls off (if you keep it clean and dry, this will usually happen within two weeks). Once your baby’s ready for a full fledged bath, it’s generally recommended that you begin with warm water and a soft washcloth, avoiding soaps and shampoos for the first 4-6 weeks (and using something gentle, baby approved, and unscented once you do). Even then, it’s best to limit newborn baths to no more than 2-3 times per week to prevent dry skin, increasing frequency over time. This little one was shared to TT by rhiannonfae.
