Does the baby need to take a bath often?

Patient's question:

Under the condition that it is allowed, how long is it generally appropriate to give a baby a bath in winter? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Generally, you can bathe your baby every three days to once a week. When bathing your baby, the water temperature should be kept between 38~41 degrees Celsius (1~2 hours before feeding to avoid causing vomiting). Start with the head, then wash the face before washing the hair, and then wash the whole body to prevent water from entering the baby's ears. Use cotton balls or soft towels for bathing. Bathing should not exceed 5 minutes to avoid catching a cold and other issues.
