can you let me know how many weeks your lo is and how often you are doing full on baths? I'm wiping him down and doing bird baths everyday... But don't want to bathe him too much and dry out his skin. Tia
She's one month and has only gotten one actual bath. She completely hated it and she has dry skin anyway so I stick with sponge baths because it's easier on all of us. I did the same thing with my son until he was about a year old and actually started enjoying baths.

My lo loves bathes. We are 7 weeks and its part of our bedtime routine so we do one almost everynight. It really calms him down and sets the mood for bed.
Sonya will be 8 weeks on Wednesday, and she gets a bath almost every night. She loves being in her bathtub, though; if she hated it, I'd probably only give her one as needed (she hated sponge baths, so I only did those if she got poop all over her or something).
LO is 3.5 weeks and we bathe her twice a week. Her skin is relatively dry, so I don't want to bathe her more often than that. We wipe her face, neck, butt and hands as needed, so she stays relatively clean.
DD is 7 weeks and we've been indecisive about frequency of baths for awhile. I think we've finally settled on every other night, unless we've had a busy day with lots of potential for her to be sweaty, like in the car seat or baby carrier.

We are averaging 3-4 times a week right now, but pretty soon we'll move to almost daily I expect. It's a really important part of Norah's bedtime routine, and will be for Nellie as well. One of us usually jumps in with them, and we enjoy that so it will continue for a while yet.
I give him a bath almost every single day,but that is more because he loves it and sometimes it is all that will calm him down if he's having a screamfest. No dry skin issues. We use aveeno baby and burts bees products. I only wash his hair once a week.
Baby Boy is going to be 5 weeks tomorrow. We're in the middle of moving and painting the entire house ourselves, so bathing baby is pretty low on our priority list right now. He gets maybe 2 baths a week? We do it as an "activity" to keep the girls occupied. They just love dumping water on him. Lol.
We have started to bathe our little guy almost every evening before bed. It's really helped us to form a routine with him. So at about 9:00 we give him a bath, put on lotion and pajamas and then give him a bottle. He usually falls asleep close to 10:00 and will sleep until 3:00. The bath really seems to tire him out before his bottle and it's been nice for DH and I to get a little rest.
Once a week is a full bath but i attempt daily to wash his face and chest since that gets milky daily. once it gets hotter out ill prob ip it to two times or as needed. i figure i only i have a chance for a bath one or two tomes a week and im fine so lo should be too.
Are you saying you only shower or take a bath once or twice a week? I had a melt down at about 3 weeks because I didn't have time to take a shower one night...could have been some hormones??? But I have to take a shower or bath everyday because I feel milk covered and dirty but if I'm feeling lazy I don't wash my hair...maybe I need to relax lol
