Do you shower a new born baby everyday or every two days??

Its not necessary to bathe newborns so much, their skin is very sensitive and can get dried out fastee. My dr. Said every 3-4 days is good with an occasional towl cleaning in between.  Towel cleaning only is preferred before umbilicle cord falls off.

They say everyday will dry out their skin. I was told with my second only once a week (with my first I did every other). Still tho I always did every two to three days and with baby number 3 on the way I plan to do the same.

I'm a mother of 2 with baby # 3 on the way and I will always shower my sons every other day I covered their umbilical cord with a peace of gauze and bandaid water proof they sleep better. But if its to cold I will just give them a sponge bath.. but its up to you ...

I use to give my nephew shower every other day since it was winter time but in summer,  I would massage him with baby oil and let them lay in sun for bit and give him shower every morning.
