You'll want to stick to sponge baths with a lukewarm washcloth for the first week or so, until your baby's umbilical cord stump falls off and the area heals.

After that you really need to bathe a newborn only once or twice a week. (Babies just don't get that dirty until they start crawling around.) Use a soft soap and don't fill the tub too much - a few inches is all you need

Only once a day but if you want them to sleep better at night then you can give the baby a second bath.

In general, new born babies only need to be bathed 1-3 times per week. The skin is sensitive and so bathing more than this can cause irritation, especially if soap is used each time.

Preferably daily. You should not make a habit out of twice a day for the sake of his/her natural oils.

Can new born bath?

New born humans should have a bath. Regular bathing calms the infant and helps to lubricate skin that is getting too dry. Just be careful around the umbilical cord area so as not to prematurely break it off.
