How soon did you bath your nb at home and how often?

LO is 6 days old and I am giving him a bath today. I feel bad for waiting so long but between my toddler and the little one I haven't had much time. He still smells so sweet and new so I didn't feel a huge urgency but now I feel bad. How about you?

I didn't bathe DD until her cord fell off. Before that it was sponge bathing. I guess it was two weeks after she was born I finally tried the bath with her.

we waited till about the 8th day. Now we're starting every other day baths.

I'm pretty sure my nb was about six days old when I bathed him. He was bathed in the hospital so I didn't feel too bad. /i had complications and was in a lot of pain at first too.

My three year old son loves to help bathe his brother.

They gave DS his first bath at the hospital then I sponge bathed him twice before his cord fell off (about 2 weeks) The day it fell off I've been bathing him either every night or every other night....he LOVES being in the water!
