We do every other night. In the very beginning we did every 3 days. He just really started getting messy with his bottles so it wasn't necessary to do more than 3 days. I do it every other day now because he keeps getting diaper rash. The bath tends to help clear it up a bit. I would do it every day because he's just so funny and loves it, but I don't have time every night:)
1-2 times /week. I give my 6 month old son abbreviated sponge baths between full baths. Of course genitals are washed with wipes and/ or washcloths daily.
I do about every three days, unless he gets too much spit up action in his neck, or gets smelly (which is pretty rare, I just use a wipe for minor stuff.). I don't wanna dry out his skin or anything.
We bathe every day except when visiting grandma 2x per week. It's becoming part of our nightly routine, and I use Burt's bees lotion afterwards to prevent drying out skin. He really loves the tub and the warmth of the water.
Our little likes to shower with daddy every other day. It really calms him. We only use soap every other shower or bath though to prevent skin dry out.
I try every 2-3 days. For those giving a daily bath- do you always wash the hair? My LO has a crap ton of hair and while I'd like to bathe her daily, I'm not sure I'd want to wash her hair that much.
I've started doing it nearly every evening as part of his nighttime routine mainly because he was getting colic and the midwife said it can help soothe it. I'd say it definitely helps him get to sleep as he loves the bath and uses so much energy kicking around, I've noticed the nights I haven't bathed him he is less settled in the night.
@Ivorytower2 mine doesn't have a great deal of hair but I try not to wash it with baby shampoo every time, however it always gets wet and the water is soapy so it kind of gets washed in the process!
Every night. DS spits up a lot through out the day and by the end of it, he stinks! Also, weve included bath time as part of his bedtime routine. Bath, reading a story, bottle and then bed.

1-2x a week since DD acts like baths are torture. She gets an extra hair-only wash in the sink now and then if her hair gets spit up or cradle cap is acting up
