Should An Infant Be Cleaned Every Morning And Night?
Do you need to freshen up your 7month old baby in the morning & at night? I feel its necessary to always wash my babies face hands private parts & feet every morning & night, regardless if my baby has left the house or not. Dad doesnt seem.to think so. Id like to know what a Dr. Thinks. I also think he should bathe 2 or 3 times a week (every other day).

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are right cleaning his hands , feet and private parts twice daily seems reasonable providing you are using baby safe soap that does not contain Dettol or alcohol as not to irritate his skin. bathing daily in summer and every 3-4 days in winter is also good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
