Less is more when it comes to bathing your baby. In fact, it's recommended that your baby only have a bath two to three times a week.

We all know bath time is a good time for parents to bond with their babies. It's a great occasion to get some one-on-one quality time with your little one, but less is more when it comes to bathing your baby. In fact, it's recommended that your baby only have a bath two to three times a week. However, it's important that your baby's hands, face and diaper area are consistently kept clean and dry. It's only when they become toddlers that they should be bathed more often.

When bathing your baby, use cleansers that are specifically suited for baby's delicate skin. Many soaps or cleansers, especially ones designed for adults, can be irritating for your baby's delicate skin. If your baby's skin is currently in tip-top shape - free of dryness, rashes, or eczema, a gentle, soap-free baby wash and shampoo is all you need for effective cleansing without over-drying. A squirmy baby can make for a slippery baby, so you may want to use a 2-in-1 product to make the process easier. After bath time, be sure to apply a gentle baby moisturizer or lotion to help seal in moisture.
