Baths in the night or day

I prefer to bathe my little one at night. She has reflux so during the day she gets messy I try to give her a proper bath every other day because her skin is super sensitive but usually just a sponge bath every day to make sure she’s clean x
My baby loves being the bath and defo calms him, but getting dressed after gets him worked up, so I wouldn’t worry about it being a thing to settle them. He sleeps well without. I only bath my 11 week old twice a week. We do it when it works for us and him as we have a three year old too.
I’m sure you’re bathing them more than enough. They don’t even necessarily ‘need’ bathing. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve bathed my 11 week old. It’s actually better for their skin not to bath them at this age as it dries them out. But if you wanted to do it to be in a routine that’s your choice 😊
I bathe my 11w baby girl whenever the need (poonami) or want arises. I tend to use bath as a way of getting her used to the water and teaching her to float, kick etc so it's stimulating too (and good preparation for swimming classes). Generally once or twice a week. Our night time routine is super basic but she still knows its bed time which is all that matters :)
I bath my LO every other day (mainly because she enjoys it). We normally do it in the morning after her first nap and then she is ready for the day ☺️
I bath my daughter around 3 times a week (just wash her normally) but her bath time differs depending. She's quite refluxy so she does get an extra one sometimes when she manages to get it in her hair and all over. X
Yeah I bathe my baby when it’s convenient for her, no matter the time of day. Just when it’s 30 mins after a feed when they aren’t too full or too hungry or too sleepy. And I usually time it when a nappy change is due. For 9 weeks old, you don’t need to bathe baby more than 2-3 times a week, as long as you’re cleansing bottom well at nappy changes and wiping down face and neck as needed. ❤️ they say you can give more baths a week if baby enjoys them, but just be careful in the winter time not to do to much as it can dry out their skin.
