How Often Can I Bathe My Baby?

One of the best things about being a parent is the thrill of bathing your baby for the first time. 

The benefits of bathing your baby are innumerable. It helps them to relax, stimulates the immune system, and keeps them clean. The dangers of over-bathing your baby are also many. Babies can get colds or develop skin infections if they have a bath too often.

Some people recommend that you bathe your baby every day, while others say that you should bathe them only once a week or less often. Experts say that the best way to determine how often to bathe your baby is to use a "smell test." If the smell is offensive, it's time for a bath!
