Length of bath time?

danibonello

We bathe every third day...at first it was a quick bath - probably about 5 minutes total. Now my DD is 9+ weeks and she LOVES bath time... our kitchen counters are flooded by the time she's done. I love watching her have so much fun and want to let it go on as long as possible, but I'm not sure if she's at increased risk to get chilled /sick from prolonged baths (approx. 1/2 hour?). We make sure that the room isnt cold and there are no drafts, and I am constantly pouring warm water on her to try and keep her warm.

Curious to know how long everyone's bath time is and how often?

We take our time when he's in a good mood. Usually his baths are 10-15 minutes long, but if he's not having it then maybe a quick dip. I bathe him almost everyday and usually before his 9 pm bedtime for the sake of routine.

We are in the 5-10 min range. They start looking at me like "now what?" after 5 min or so. I'm no expert but I would think as long as she isn't to the point of wrinkliness and you are reading her cues as to whether she's cold or had enough, you are probably good to go! Sounds fun!

My son gets 10-15 minute showers, but it's a shower so I'm not worried about him getting too cold.

We bathe every day (bc baby loves it) and they last about 10 mins. We use 4moms tub where the warm water constantly flows thru so he never is cold or in dirty water.
