DS is 3 weeks old he definitely doesn't get dirty but my question is how often to you bathe a newborn? And for how long? I've read about at least 15 minutes. But how often. I don't want to not bathe him but I also don't want to over bathe him either?

He really hated baths at this point, so we only did them every 3-4 days, unless he really needed them. At that age, baths were all business. Once he was washed and rinsed, we dried and dressed him. Now they're much longer (and daily) as he enjoys playing in the bath after his scrubbing session.
Initially, he got cold very easily. We figured out that submerging him more and using warmer water was better for him. However, every baby differs on this, so yours may not like that.
