How do I give my newborn a bath? What equipment do I need? How often should I bath her? What's the right temperature, etc.

It is recommended to delay the first bath until 24-48 hours after birth. Your baby doesn't need to bathe daily since it may make the skin dry, as long as you clean the diaper area regularly. Until the umbilical cord is healed, the AAP recommends you stick to sponge baths.
