FAQs

How often do you bathe a newborn?

Giving bath to your baby daily can dry their skin. Since your newborn baby is not that mobile yet, giving your baby a bath three to four times a week is enough.

How soon can you take a newborn out?

Some recommend that you must wait for a baby to turn one month old before you take them out. However, there is no specific rule about this. You can freely take your baby out as long as you use the products that can keep your baby safe.

How do you clean a newborn’s face?

You can clean your baby’s face by washing it gently using washcloth or cotton balls. If your baby is just a few days old, try to avoid using any soap.
