If you do give her a bath, use something mild like Johnson's baby shampoo or Dawn dish soap. And be sure that you dry her well. You can put a towel in the dryer before you use it so it will be warm. Cuddle her in towels until she's bone dry so she doesn't get sick.
That said, I don't think it is absolutely necessary to bathe her right now. If you want her to be used to baths, I'd wait a few more weeks until she's just a tad older before you start.
I don't bathe my cats. They are all young and healthy and stay clean. They're also indoor only. I tried to give Shiloh a bath a few times and I'm surprised I didn't lose a limb in that process
The vet told me I didn't have to do it anymore though. I imagine I'll have a real problem on my hands if any of them ever do need a bath
