Bath every night?

do you give a bath every night?  I see alot of people saying how it is part of bedtime routine, but I have read that every night is too much...

Re: Bath every night?

  • We do it mostly every night now as part of a bedtime routine (and he gets pretty messy eating solid food these days) but we didn't start doing it every night till around 5 months. We never needed a routine before that, he would just fall asleep when he was ready every night.

  • Emma has really sensitive skin so we don't do it every night. We do it every other day or every 2 days

  • We tried to everynight but my son got such bad dry skin that we stopped. It's about every other night.
  • I do it every night because Michael is in daycare.
  • Nope... we try to get in 2 a week but usually end up with only one. When he gets more mobile we might up it to every other night.

  • we do not. ?he has very dry skin and every night is too much for him. ?we do every other night during the week. ?on non-bath nights, we just skip straight to lotion/jammies for his bedtime routine and it seems to work just fine for us.
  • We do one every night, though we don't wash him with soap/shampoo every night.  K gets very very messy from dinner.
  • I do every other day.
  • We do a bath maybe 2-3 time a week.  Every day when I dress her for the day, I do wipe her down with a warm wash cloth to clean up milk, etc...just to freshen her up a bit.

    I do it on the days she goes to daycare- so 3 days a week.  But, I don't use soap each time.  I just let her soak in the tub.
  • Every other night for us.

    I have to admit we just went 8 days between baths.  It's not EC's favorite activity.

  • Yes, we do it every night as part of his wind-down routine.  We use California Baby gentle wash or Johnson's, and DS's skin is fine so far.
