The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Yes, babies can bathe from the moment they are born. During the first few days, only sponge bathing is usually recommended (pediatric consensus: sponge bathing rather than full water immersion until the umbilical cord falls off); after the umbilical cord falls off, tub bathing can begin. Water temperature should be 36-37°C, room temperature around 24°C. Bath time should not exceed 5-10 minutes, and the baby should never be left alone. 2-3 times a week is sufficient; daily bathing is not necessary. Bathing can be postponed if the baby is ill, has a fever, or is restless.
