Ava grace hated being bathed alone, so i would get in my bat tub with her lol, ive been taking her to swimming classes since she was 4 month old n after that seemed to be better at bath time and enjoys them now! id bath her every night but she has excema so it actually dries the skin out so she gets 3/4 baths a week rest of the time i just wash her down with a face cloth n foaming wash so not to irratate her skin. i guess its up to you as long as both of you are having fun n it doent dry skin out bath your lil as often as you feel its needed :)

baby's skin is sensitive. you can give him a bath every day if he likes water...but don't use soap on him every day. I wash my daughter every 2 or 3 days. (unless she's gets really messy). just keep her bum and face and hands clean in between and she should be fine.

I would say every other day unless, he gets dirty and it is visible that he needs a bath

why cant he simply have a bath everyday?? There are no hard and set rules about how many times you can bath a baby, after all, he's not a dog lol. But seriously, bathtime not only cleans the baby but given at the right time will help to make him sleepy. Give him his tea, let that settle then bath him prior to bedtime, then you can have some quiet "me" time with him. Read him a story, cuddle up and then put him to bed :))
