I have not had any problems with smells or with her itching or having any problems at all.
However, if I am incorrect and should be giving her more baths, PLEASE tell me - I am a new mommy and want to do this right!!

I think what you're doing is fine. It seems to be a matter of prefrence. I prefer once a week although I've read many many times not to give a pup more than a bath once a month. With me that wouldn't work. Kaji sometimes pees all over the inside of his leg, his belly, and once he even got the top of his head when he's super excited. He's my little inside dog and he sleeps with me so I have an issue when he is pee covered. I have to wash him when he gets like that, which is becoming less and less frequent and so are his baths. If it were up to me he would have a weekly bath and that's it. But as of now his skin is not dry and he does not itch at all so I don't think I'm harming him if I find the need to clean him up.
So if your pup seems content, does not have skin issues with your routine, and you don't think your baby smells you're probably doing ok.
