Do we need to soap/shampoo newborns and babies?

Hello mummies, do we need soap/shampoo for bb when they are less than 1 year old? I've heard people say don't need soap at all vs should use some soap – any advice? Thanks so much

I only use a small amount. You can just pump once and mix into the bath water. As mentioned by another mommy, they can be sweaty, especially with such a hot weather in Singapore and you don’t want bacteria to be trapped at the folded area. It’s important to keep baby hygiene clean.

Yup small amount will do. Due to hygiene also, esp above newborn age, theyre very active very sweaty, you would not want bacteria build up especially around folded area like butt, neck, in between thigh and all

I use newborn safe soap, starting with very little drop and now 1-2pumps for a tub of water. My lo is now 16mo

A small amount will do. Not directly on baby but 1 to 2 small drops into the water.
