Newborns do not need daily baths, 2-3 times a week is plenty in the early weeks. When you do bathe them, plain water is fine for the first month. After that, use fragrance-free, pH-neutral baby wash.
The Stokke Flexibath is the one we bought for our own babies, it folds flat, lasts for years, and with the newborn support you can bathe them hands-free from day one. Kokoso coconut oil handles about four jobs in one jar. Get the Tommee Tippee healthcare kit for the thermometer and nail clippers alone. And the Cuddledry towel is one of those things you do not realise you need until you have tried bathing a baby solo for the first time. For washing, plain water for the first month, then a gentle unfragranced wash.

Around 37 degrees Celsius. NHS guidance says to always test with your elbow or a bath thermometer. Never leave a baby unattended in water, even for a second.
Very little. Plain water is fine for the first month. After that, use a fragrance-free, pH-neutral baby wash. Coconut oil (like Kokoso) handles moisturising, cradle cap, nappy cream, and massage in one product.
