For babies under one year, adding bath foam or liquid soaps directly to the water is generally not recommended. The reason: Foamy baths can cause urinary tract irritation, especially in girls, leading to vulvar irritation, and in sensitive skin, they can cause dryness. Even if you're using a product made for babies — "pH balanced, fragrance-free, fragrance-free" — once or twice a week is enough, and only a tiny amount added to the water. The safest approach: Warm water baths (after the cord falls off), and if needed, use only a small amount of baby shampoo or soap on areas like the diaper area and armpits. Then rinse thoroughly and apply moisturizer (baby lotion or coconut oil) to protect the skin barrier. If you notice redness, flaking, or diaper area irritation, stop the product and bathe with just water for a while.
