Newborn Bath

Is it sufficient to use just warm water to handkerchief wipe down for newborn in first month? As baby seems too fragile to put in tub.. Please advise what did you mummies do for your newborn during 1st month bath time!

Bath my girl in the morning (in a bathtub), about 30mins after feeding. I will carry her & wash her hair first than put her into the water slowly. I realised I can't bath her before milk as she will cry easily during her first month. Wipe her with warm water in the evening. Now that she is 4.5months, I can bath her first thing in the morning before feeding her and wipe her once in the evening. However when the weather is hot, we bath her twice at times.
