My 2 1/2 year old gets one every night and I bathe my 6 month old about 3x/week.

  Nothing wrong with that!  When they're really small babies just don't get that dirty sometimes.  Alot of the things I've read said infants don't really need to be bathed more than once a week until they start crawling.
  Anyway in the beginning Jake got baths once a week.  As he got older (and started getting dirtier, particularly once solids were introduced) now it's just about every other day, sometimes every 2 days.

 Re: How many times a week doyou give your baby a bath? 
Right now every other day.  I'm sure once the summer comes it will be every day.

 Re: How many times a week doyou give your baby a bath? 
Right now just about every other day, in the summer it will probably be every day.  When he was younger though, it was less.
  We do wash up every day when he brushes his teeth, its been a routine for a while.

  Same here... only 1-2 times a week.  I asked our pediatrician about it and he said it's not that good for their skin to be bathed more frequently.  I've noticed that if we give Alex more than 2 baths a week her skin gets very dry and scaly...

  My nephew used to get a bath every day when he was an infant and he had the worst skin problems. I'm sure it was due to dry skin from excessive washing.

 Re: How many times a week doyou give your baby a bath? 
When he was a baby - maybe 3 times a week.  Dr and hospital said not too often and he had senstive skin.
  Now - every night (started at maybe 9-10 months).  He looooves his bath.

 Re: How many times a week doyou give your baby a bath? 
2 or 3 times a week. She has very dry skin so I can't do it too often

 Re: How many times a week doyou give your baby a bath? 
Every day, I feel like it is a routine then.  Because he knows bedtime comes after the bath.

 Re: How many times a week doyou give your baby a bath? 
Every other day, but now after reading these, maybe every 2-3 days. Both of them have dry skin.   Now, my 7 year old? Thats another story!
