Bathing frequency

How many days a week do you bath LO? And do you bath in the morning, afternoon or evening?

We were bathing her about 3x per week, but she is one month now and we decided it helped her sleep better, so we will be doing it every evening now. We just don't wash her hair every time.

Twice a week.  I don't want to dry out her skin, but her hair starts to stink after 3 or 4 days.  I try to make it the same night as DS, but that doesn't always work.. he's starting to need baths every other day since we're getting into warmer weather.

We bathe DD every day.  She LOVES bath time and gets fussy if we miss it!

This. But ds only gets his hair and body washed with soap every other day. We have had no issues with his skin drying out. He gets portioned frequently!

i was showering with DD twice a week in the mornings until she was about 2 months. Now I have a bath with her every night because she totally LOVES it! She hasn't gotten dry skin or anything, so that's not an issue, and I only use soap/shampoo every third time approx.

The baths are part of her bedtime routine and something we'll continue well into her childhood. It something about the day that's different and signals that bedtime and sleep are soon to follow. There's something about a warm bath, followed by a warm breast, that makes babies very very sleepy haha.

every evening before her last bottle. if we don't, it throws off the whole "bed time" routine. i just make sure to use plenty of lotion on her to keep her skin soft!

We're doing baths every other evening. I would love to do every day, but there just aren't enough hours to get everything done. I feel a little guilty about that actually.
