Developmental Milestones Bathing and Hygiene: Keeping Baby Clean Gently clean the baby's creases, including the neck, armpits, and groin, paying close attention to hygiene in these areas to prevent diaper rash or other skin infections. Sponge baths are recommended for the first few weeks, transitioning to tub baths around 6 weeks, provided the umbilical cord has fully healed and the baby shows no signs of skin irritation or infection.
