what I remember from my baby books is that you "top and tail" them until the cord falls off. They don't need a bath. You can keep both ends clean with water from the faucet and that's all you need to do. Too much bathing (and the chemicals in soap) isn't so good for their skin anyway.

Do whatever you like. I always washed the baby's bottom after a BM because I didn't use wipes. I liked clean smelling hair so I did their heads as needed. Check ears for milk that got spit out and pooled there. Check neck creases. Hands and feet don't get dirty. I did the above over the sink (once I got smart after the first child) instead of filling a bath and holding the baby so the cord didn't get wet.

I don't like giving newborns a full bath everyday because their skin is so sensitive. I prefer to do a sponge bath every other day or so.
