| bathing.. How often should a 2 month old be bathed? I've heard every 3 days, once a week, once every 2 weeks. What do most people do for their little ones? Rajah's pop |

| I was told not to bathe my baby till he was at least 12 wks old.. I was told to use a dry shampoo.. No water needed!! Unless he/she goes out side "once a week" is good.. Here is some tips on bathing our babies... Begin shampooing the dog from the back of his neck working your way down to the tail area. Follow by shampooing his under side, than his legs and tail. Finish off his neck and head area. Be extremely careful when washing your yorkies face. You don't want to get any shampoo into his eyes. After he's all shampooed up, it's time to rinse him. This is where your pet shower comes in handy. Remove the dog from the sink and proceed to place him on the towel. Wrap the little guy/gal up, and give him a treat at this point. Ah what the heck make it two. They've been so good up until now and the blow dryer is next. |

| I bath my baby once every 2 weeks unless he has been outside or something, His skin got too dry and flakey when I was doing it once a week, plus I switched to a all natural shampoo with oatmeal.

| You can put cottonballs in the ears and thin amount of vaseline over their eyes to project from soap and water. I think once every couple weeks is sufficient ... and would recommend a puppy specific shampoo or something like pearls to keep their skin moisturized. |
