"Additionally, frequently bathing a baby can also worsen eczema and cause other infections. “This is a complicated balance, but the bath itself may not be the main cause of the problem. The use of bath products, including lotions that contain dyes or fragrances, can react with the baby’s skin, worsening eczema even when not bathing,” said Scott Grant, M.D., MPH, FAAP, from the Detroit Medical Center Children’s Hospital in Michigan. "

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), newborns should not be bathed for the first time until 24 hours after birth. If a full day is not possible, they recommend waiting at least 6 hours after the baby is born.

“Clearly, there are changes that babies experience as they grow older and move around more, so they may require extra baths from time to time. This rule is sufficient as long as the diaper area is cleaned properly each time the diaper is changed,” said Dr. Grant. Source: Parents
