Bath advice

DoctorWorm222

Hi all,

I've been giving my baby a bath every other night. Lately, I've noticed that she sleeps more soundly on nights when she has a bath. I'm wondering if its ok to give her a bath every night. If so, should I be using her baby wash every time? I don't want to irritate her skin.

We do a bath every night as a part of her routine.  We only use baby wash every other day except for her diaper area.  We wash that with baby soap daily.  Our girl LOVES her bath and I want to establish that as a part of our nighttime wind down routine.

What the PP said! I notice my LOs scalp can get pretty dry so I would def skip shampoo in that area.

We do a bath every night but only use soap 2-3 times a week.

We do a bath every night before bed.  She loves it and it really helps relax her.  Last night she took her first bath in the big tub with me and was so relaxed that she pooped.   I use soap every day and her skin seems to be fine -- the doctor actually recommended it for her acne and now that's gone.  Her hair gets washed every other day.  I follow it up with baby lotion on her legs and face which are her dry areas.
