DH wants me to bathe him every night but he expects me to be the one to do it. I get tired and a couple nights a week I skip it- shh- don't tell him.

Bath every night. We skip soap 2-3 times a week and just have fun splashing and playing, but the bath has been a part of her nighttime routine since she was 3 weeks old.

every night and we soap every night...he LOVES his bath and kicks like crazy!

Usually one to two times. Everything I looked up (online & baby books) said to bath no more than twice a week, especially for babies with dry skin. Apparently it can be more often when baby is crawling (getting dirty). I wouldn't hesitate to wash more, if she were a messy eater, or crawling around, but she isn't either yet. She will be crawling soon, so I will probably bathe her more often. LO just started to love baths, too Before it was a screamfest.

I have a crawler, so pretty much every night.  However, i skip soap every other day.  I always put in a little baking soda in the water to help against bum rash.  And on days i use soap, i try to put lotion on after to avoid dry skin.  She sleeps with a humidifier too.

Everynight. We soap every night but only wash his hair 2-3 times a week...it gets too fuzzy if we wash it more than that! We do lotion & diaper rash cream everynight too. Ever since we incorporated it into our bedtime routine, sleeping has improved dramatically. Not to mention...he's crawling, getting into everything and he's feeding himself. So he's ALWAYS a mess.

we try every other day unless I know he got super dirty or spit-up during the day.

We make our own baby wipes with baby soap, so I do a swipe of his hands several times a day. Other than that, he gets a bath a week. This weather is torture to his skin so I don't want to dry it out any more than it already is.

Special Snowflake: 3 or 4. Every other day, so some weeks it's 3 and the next week it's 4.

Every day. But we only use soap when we HAVE to. His skin gets horribly dry. He gets slathered in lotion right after. On the occasional night that he does not get a bath we have noticed that his sleep is not as good.

This.  We also do lotion every night so his skin doesn't get dry.

He gets a bath every night but only gets soap every third night. He's a bath fiend so we made it part of our nighttime routine.

This is what I do.

Usually every night, but lately it hasn't been as often.  She seems to sleep fine either way so maybe I will just stop making more work for myself haha. No. I will probably change it up to every second day or so.
