bubble baths?

do you do bubble baths?  does the soap used for the bubbles rinse off?  is there a recommended age for them?

I was told not to regularly because of UTI risk for girls. So we avoid them.

Make sure the bubble bath is age appropriate.  Some bubble bathes can cause UTIs.  We use j&j lavendar bubble bath which is for babies.

DS takes a bubble bath every night. We use California Baby Bubble Bath- the Calming and Overtired and Cranky both smell fantastic!

I don't because I always got UTIs from them when I was little.

I've also heard that frequent bubble baths can cause UTIs in girls.  Sometimes I squeeze a little of DD's baby wash in the water to make some bubbles, but I don't do it very often.

well allright.  we will be skipping the bubble bath.  it's not like she is asking for it, so she doesn't know what she is missing.

Johnson and Johnson just came out with a new extra gentle bubble bath that is safe for daily use in boys AND girls (and clinically tested to NOT cause UTIs). The bubbles are actually a gentle body wash too. It doesn't create as many bubbles as a typical bubble bath would, but it's enough to make DD happy. We use it everytime DD gets a bath and have had no problems. I forget the specific name of the bubble bath, but it's in a blue bottle and says "new" on it.

California Baby also makes an ultrasensitive bubble bath, but I wasn't able to find it anywhere.

ETA: Here's a link to the product info.

I've always used some of her baby wash as "bubble bath".........does that carry the same risk?
