I would only bathe them 4 or 5 times a week. A baby that young can just get a really good wipe up under the neck, face and private areas daily private areas should be constantly to prevent diaper rash and breakouts! 1 Wash your baby with water, or use a mild, liquid baby cleanser or bath emollient (Crozier and Macdonald 2010, Stamatas 2013) . 2  If your baby's skin is dry or tender, you could add a little bath emollient to the water (AWHONN 2013, Bieber 2010, Lawton 2013, Van Onselen 2013) . 1 For newborns and babies up to six months old, fill the bath with about 13cm (5in) of water. 2  Or just make sure there's enough to allow your baby to settle in the water with his shoulders well covered (AWHONN 2013) . There's no need to give your newborn a bath every day. In fact, bathing your baby more than several times a week can dry out his or her skin. If you're quick with clean diapers and burp cloths, you're already cleaning the parts that really need attention — the face, neck and diaper area. If you'd like to give your baby a sponge bath, you'll need: 1  A warm place with a flat surface. 2  A bathroom or kitchen counter, changing table, or firm bed will work. 3  Even a blanket or towel on the floor is OK if it's warm enough. 4  A soft blanket, towel or changing pad.
