When we lived with my inlaws it was chilly. We had no control over temp. I bathed my ds everyday, I just covered his head and wrapped him tightly when we were done. And I dressed him in warm pjs.

I remember my sister used to warm up the bathroom with an electric heater, then unplug it and move it before bathing the kids.

Not that often, honestly. Probably 2-3 times a week.

I'd probably do what PP said - use an electric heater to warm the area up, also they say to put a warm wet washcloth on the chest to help keep from getting chilly durring bath

We would turn the shower on as hot as possible 5 minutes before her bath. That would steam/heat up the bathroom so it was nice and warm for her bath. Also, put a washcloth with warm water on her chest.

I keep my heat at 68 so it's not not cold but it's not warm. I bathed both my girls everyday (age 2 and age 5 months) unless they are sick. I make the bath water warm and always have all their towels an clothing ready to go so they aren't naked for long.

My house is 66 and I bathe my newborn daily because it is one of the only things that calms him down when he is having a fit.

We recently dropped down to once every 2-3 days.

eta: We keep our house thermostat at 74 but the boys are still cold after bath.

We bathe daily, both my kids love bath time. My 3 year old can play for hours and for my 7 week old it soothes her. We purcahse a small plug in heater at walmarrt for like $20.00. We plug it in a few minutes for bath time. So its all toasty in there. I jsut bring the pjs in there and dry and dress in there.
