YT Addict | Bathing........ My baby is 12wks old and I wondered how often would it be safe to bathe him. I currently bathe him once in a week, I was hoping to be able to bathe him every 4-5 days. Would that be safe for him. He's a stinky butt if he goes the whole week without a bath! |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | More than once a week will most likely dry out his skin. If I were you a bath once a week and if he gets a bit stinky use a doggie wipe or even a regular baby wipe and clean him up in between baths.

| This is just what I have found for myself. I found that grooming/brushing and washing the eye gunk off every evening helps a great deal. I also use unscented baby wipes to wipe the boys and girls off after they have piddled.

| I agree....once a week is good otherwise their little skin gets dry. I brush my pup nightly and try to get his teeth brushed too, with much resistance to the toothbrush. Ha!
