Bathing one month old

Hi mums, how often do you bathe your newborns per week? We have been bathing my one month old everyday so far since he was two weeks old but I read several resources that stated that they generally only need two to three baths per week until about 4 months old. Should we follow that given how hot SG is?

Pls do not follow Google. Our weather here in SG is unpredictable and it can be very humid. Even adults feels sticky, what more babies. And they have sensitive skin especially at the back of their neck where rashes can flare up. I bath my premature baby once every morning, head to toe wash but not more than 10 mins (they have sensitive skin and be careful not to over bath or their skin will turn dry and peeling) and wipe clean with warm water in the evening 6-6.30 pm. Will only bath him twice a day when he turns 3 mths old. That's when they start to suck their hand more often and drool. That's what I did when I had my older kids back then too. No issues with them so far.
