How many baths do you give LO a week?

missyjg

We only give LO 2 or 3 full baths at the most (usually if she has a diaper blowout). I wash her down with a washcloth other mornings if she needs it. We tried to use it as part of her bedtime routine but it woke her up and she just wanted to party for the next 2 hours.  I just don't see her getting that dirty, making it necessary to give her a bath every day. Is this the norm or do I have the stinky kid on the block?

Currently we're bathing her every other day. She has a lot of hair and it gets greasy from people (like me) touching it all the time and she also has a lot of blowouts.  She is 5 wks.

I bathe her every other day but I clean her face and neck every day with a warm washcloth.

We also only do 2-3 a week as recommended by our pedi.

I give them one every night and I wipe them down with a washcloth every morning. We try to go out every day even if it is just for a walk. I like them to be in new clothes and clean skin (not that they get very dirty...)

DS gets one every night as part of his bedtime routine-it knocks him out pretty good!

We bath DD everyday.  But I like to do it.  Her hair gets all fluffy when its clean.  It is too cute.  The pedi also said it will help keep diaper rash down too.

As soon as DD's cord fell off, I give her a bath every other day unless needed otherwise!

We do a "bath" every night but we only use soap every other night or every third night.  She likes to play in the warm water before bed, it helps relax her.

2 times a week.  We do not want it part of the bedtime routine.  I don't want a melt down when they are older and I don't have time for a bath.

This has never ever happened to me & DS has had a bath at night since 6 weeks.

I give him a bath 2-3 times a week. He really doesn't get dirty.

She gets a bath every day or at the very least every other. She LOVES baths!

We give Hunter a bath every night as a part of his bed time routine! He loves it and even if we are running 5 mins late for his bathtime, he knows it and starts to fuss!!!

 We don't wash his hair every time or get it wet... but we do wash his body!

Twice a week. He hates baths and there's no need to bathe him any more than that.

Same.  Plus it helps with her gas.
