How do i bathe my baby?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Gentle, Infrequently: After the cord falls off, prepare a lukewarm bath, i like use of an organic bar soap from the middle of nowhere in montana that allows one hand to wash (hair included) and one hand to hold, remember babies skin will be healthiest with infrequent bathing, every other day, even every third day. Never leave baby unattended even with the fanciest contraption in the bath. Oh, and enjoy!

My baby has a pimply rash on his face which has moved to his scalp and a little on the ears and neck. What should I do? I've been told it could be infant acne and I should wash him only in epizone and apply it on his face and not to bath him daily.
