  Once a week would probably be alright for now.  They don't get too dirty until they are more mobile.  I imagine you will be washing his face and bottom multiple times a day too, so you will be cleaning him, just not bathing him regularly.  I find baths calm my LO (7 weeks old).  While I don't want to waste water, we sometimes bathe her at night during her "bewitching" hours because it calms her down.  She gets 2-4 baths per week.

  I bathe my LO nightly. Not really a bath... We shower her, and then use baby oil/lotion. We do it as a nightly routine since it's helping her sleep well at night.

  When we were in NICU they bathed ours twice a week.
  
  He just turned 3 months old and still gets a couple a week unless he's fussy and then it pretty much knocks him out.

  We aim for every 3rd day. I don't worry if we move the bath up or back a day. I wash her face, neck and bottom daily.

  We do a full bath once a week. I wash his face, neck, and diaper area once or twice a day. I alternate water with dry cetaphil cloths.

  Our LO gets a bath every other day. He enjoys it and it helps calm him if he's a little fussy. I put lotion on him right after his bath. It makes him smell so good too!
