daycare moms - do you bathe dc every night?

jml5q

we used to only bathe her every other night or even every 3rd night, but there's just something about her being at daycare all day on the floor with lots of other people and kids touching her that makes me think we should bathe her more often. what do you do?

We still bathe her once a week - otherwise her skin gets so dry - but mine is one of 5 and not at a center - a think a center gets far dirtier.  Mine is also the only infant.

Nope, every 3-4 nights for both at the same time. Simply not enough time during the week to do that and get in bed by 7pm (any later and C is a mess) on bath nights I do take out.

nope. I bathe her every 3-5 days. She is really cranko most nights when i get home with her at 6:45. she would scream bloody murder. Not worth it. I clean her face and hands and sometimes dunk her bottom in the sink if she needs it.

as for it being dirty- she isn't crawling yet so I dont feel like that. except for her hands and face since she is sticking her hands in her mouth all day.

My son is a greaser so he needs a daily bath. ?I used to do it as part of the bedtime routine, but now I do it as soon as we get home to get the cooties off.
