How often do you bathe your baby?

I'm seeing a lot of people make bath's apart of the bedtime routine, I thought that babies were only suppose to get a bath a couple of times a week.

    DD gets a bath every second night, as part of bedtime routine. If we miss one, no big deal. I thought about doing it every night but I don't want to be stuck having to give her a bath in order for her to fall asleep. The other night I have an altered routine of going in the bathroom to wash her face and hands, then room to get into PJs and the rest is the same..

    As a bedtime routine we bathe every night... This helps her relax and sleep better.

    We do bath every night. He is starting to relate bath and bed which I like.

    It relaxes him and he seems to enjoy it.

    This!  If we can't do it one night we just wipe him down with a warm wash cloth and give him an extra long baby massage.  I always sing the "head, shoulders, knees and toes" song to him when we do the massage and he just coo's and ahhh's at me. lol I love it!

    We do a bath every two to three nights. She doesn't seem to show a difference between a bath night and a non-bath night.

    You are right, they are only supposed to get baths 1-2 times per week.  Babies don't get that dirty....well, at least mine don't!!!  I wipe their faces, hands and bums with a warm, soapy wash cloth the other nights.

    we're just starting a nighttime routine since she has kind of set her own bedtime.  However, she only gets baths every 2-3 days. On the nights she doesn't need a bath, we just won't give her one.  She goes down just fine already without gettign one so I'm not worried.

    Our military doc said it is fine to give him a bath every night. He sure needs it. His hair blondish but it gets so oily it looks black.
