How often to bathe newborn

Question

1. How often do we bathe our newborn ? Is it everyday? If everyday, how many times a day? And do we use gentle body wash @ every bathe? 2. Do we need to bathe our baby when they puke over their body/outfit or just use wet tissue/water to wipe it ? 3. When they poop, heard its advisable to wash their bum instead of always using wet tissue, for that do i need to use only water or also use a gentle body wash ? #firsttimemom #firstbaby

1. I bathe my 2 months old in morning and wipe him with wet wipe in the evening 2. I use wet wipes to clean him and then change his clothes 3. If it is a big poop, I sometimes wash his bum with water but mostly I use wet wipes to clean his bum and change the diaper. If his back also gets dirty because of poop then I clean him with lukewarm water and change his clothes

Answering your queries above1) I bathe two times a day (morning/before evening), both my kids ill use Cetaphil/Sebamed as they have sensitive skin esp to heat rash. 2) I will change outfit if it is full of puke, wipe with wet wipes / wet towel. Hence, advisable also to wear baby bib in which I use from 2 month onwards. 3) If minimal Ill use wet wipes, otherwise if alot and mutiple times of poop in a day then wash bum. Ill use Cetaphil product also.
