Twice a week is probably too much, a general guideline is no more than once a week, but when Joey was a puppy, I occationally did it twice a week, he just seemed so much more oily then. Always follow shampooing with a good conditioner, remember it conditions the skin as well as the hair, always use a shampoo meant for dogs, because human shampoos even gentle ones are too drying for a dogs skin. Most important rule is rinse, rinse rinse, and rinse some more. Products left in hair and shin, can attract oils and dirt to hair, and dry skin. Good luck with your baby, you sound like a wonderful mommy!
