Re: How often do you bathe your baby?

Usually every night unless we get home very late or something like that. My DS goes to daycare and now that he's 3 and plays in the school yard for a few hours each day you should see how dirty he gets. I like for him to go to bed nice and clean. When he was an infant I would do every other night unless we had a poop explosion occur that day.

Re: How often do you bathe your baby?

Every other day since they were infants. They both have pretty dry skin and DD's is super sensitive, if she gets a bath every day her eczema flares up.

Every night, it's part of our nighttime routine. Occasionally we'll skip it if we are out late, but that's really rare.

How old are all these babies? I bathe my almost 4 week old (sponge bathe) every 3-4 days right now.

Every night. Sometimes we have a hectic end of day and we're ok with skipping the bath but that's rare.



Same for all three of my kids: almost 4 month old twins and a 2 year old.

Re: How often do you bathe your baby?

At that point, I was doing every other day. Sometimes I'd even go 2 days without, but once summer came, I started giving her a bath every day because she was outside more, in the pool, sunscreen, etc. SHe was around 8-9 months when I did daily. There are sometimes now where I skip a day, but it's usually every night.

We bathe him nightly, but we only use soap twice a week. The other nights he just sits and plays in the tub as part of his bedtime routine. If you're not using it for that purpose, then I think the amount you're bathing her is fine.

Re: How often do you bathe your baby?

We try to bathe DS every night. DS has reflux and spits up a lot so he always has the spit up in the fat rolls of his neck which creeps me out so we bathe him everyday especially if he spit up a lot. If we don't give him a bathe for any reason we at least wipe him down. His skin is not dry at all from the baths everyday

Every night for both my dd's since they were able to take a bath. Both have sensitive skin and will use less soap if I see they are drying up. It's part of our routine.

every 2-3 days depending on what we've done and where we've been during the week.



This used to be us. Now that she is 2 years old I bathe her more often. I would say about 5 times a weeks now.

2x week, I read it in articles too........ I guess you can do more, but your not suppose to use soap those times so their skin doesn't dry out.
