When should I start giving my baby regular baths?

You can start bathing your baby once or twice a day once his umbilical cord stump has dropped off. For me, I started bathing my baby from Day 4 after her cord stump fell off. Use your elbow to test the water temperature before placing baby in. Talk softly to him and tell him that he's going to have a bath. It's better if you use a bathtub which comes with an infant support so you don't need to support him with one arm, which gets tiring. http://sg.theasianparent.com/bathing_your_baby_melissa_lau/
