New born do not need bathing very often except the diaper area since they dont get much dirty. They are not exposed to outside air and their body remain clean and soft. You can give sponge bath till the cord cuts off on its own(but make sure the cord area is dry and clean) and continue later with normal bath.
Experts say washing daily make babies skin more dry. Babies may cry for the first few baths because of new experience. Dont get overwhelmed on hearing other babies enjoy bathing. After a few trials, babies do enjoy bathing ....really they do enjoy.. You would see soon your baby squealing and enjoy looking his face @ mirror during bathing.
After bathing your baby, wrap her in towel immediately so that he doesnt get cold. Pat her dry thoroughly and carefully reaching all folds and creases.
Many young babies dislike being undressed as it gives unsecure feeling and distressed the feeling of exposure to air. Dress on fast by singing and talking to the baby...You can do your job when they are distracted. :)
