[quote=Anonymous]We waited about two weeks for the cord stump to fall off with both kids (and did sponge baths before then). With kid #1, then gave full baths once a week (largely because he hated them, so they weren't part of a relaxing bedtime routine as they are for some). Kid #2 spits up a lot more, so we do them 2-3x a week so he won't smell like spoiled milk. Every day is not super healthy for baby skin, as others have said, but I do know people who did short baths every night because their babies couldn't fall asleep otherwise. For sponge baths, we just wet a washcloth and held the baby while wiping him down--not much water involved so no need for sink basin or bathtub. [/quote]
