Bathing & Skin Care for Newborns: Calm, Safe, and Simple By Murtazo — Bukhara City Newborn skin is thin, gentle, and still learning the world. Less is more. Here’s my keep-it-simple routine that prevents rashes and tears. 1) How Often? 2–3 short baths per week are enough. On other days, clean face, neck folds, hands, and diaper area with warm water. 2) The Setup Room warm, no drafts. Water: 37°C; check with elbow or thermometer.
