2 days after hospital and every other day I would give her a sponge bath. Her cord fell off in 10 days and now has a bath every night.

I gave my son a bath as soon as we got home from the hospital. I was only there for a day. He's 3 months old and he gets a bath every other day.

I gave my baby a sponge bath on the 2nd day home and make sure you get in all the little rolls and cracks of the armpits and necks if not they stink really bad.
