How often do you bathe your LO?

MamatoA2010

I do baths every night. Am I over-doing it? How often do you ladies (and gents) bathe your LO/LO's?

iluvmylab

Every night. He loves baths and he uses his hair as a napkin, so it's a necessity.

Spapeggy

Like 23 times a week. More if really dirty. He's 2 and its been rainy out so its been indoor play.

LaylaPartDeux

DS1 is nightly. DS2 is 2 to 3 times a week. Once DS2 gets bigger, they'll probably both get nightly baths together.

MintBerryCrunch

DD1 gets a bath every night. DD2 is generally every other since she is still so young.

How old is your LO?  It depends for us.  We used to do it every night when she was younger, because it was the only thing to soothe her during her totally awesome colic phase and then I-don't-wanna-go-to-sleep phase.  Now, it just depends o

DS is 2yo and gets d.i.r.t.y. so everyday for him. DD is only 10months, doesn't get very dirty and doesn't even poop everyday so probably 4 or 5 times per week.

It's also very dry here, especially in the winter, and this seems to work for us.

BBrasky

Every night. Sometimes even twice a day if one gets really dirty during the day..they love baths! Pretty sure I'm over doing it..

Ilumine

Every night, eve. If she isnt dirty. She has a problem with fully wiping her butt after defecating. However, she is all about doi g it herself. So we have to wash every day so there aren't any rashes.

LeapOfFaith10

Every other night, but it really depends on what happened that day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Every night. We'll skip if we are out late for him or he's super cranky.

Whenever we go out we ahower or bathe once home. If we go awhile without leaving the house, then it's when we remember. Which ends up being about 3 times a week.

Generally every other night.  If he gets really dirty or has potty accidents he gets a bath/shower even if it isn't "bath night".

pghmortdoll

Ive bathed DS every other day since birth. He is almost 10 months and gets dirtier now with food etc, plus he loves bath time. We are slowly moving toward every night before bed.

NotSharknado

I do every night. Her hair is a sticky matted mess by lunch time. There's no way I could skip a night.

chardonnay24

Every other night unless he's having a particularly messy day.

DS has some skin issues, including ezcema, per doctor's request, we give DS a bath every other night, unless he gets especially dirty.

keags5496

We do every other night at the most because of E's eczema. He gets into everything though and I wish his skin would handle a daily bath!

catycate

Every night- it's part of our bedtime routine. Plus we spend tons of time outside, so it's usually needed.

shopgirl78

Every night but Friday--I like getting a night off.   

Glitter Pop

Every day and sometimes twice a day. He loves baths, so he always jumps in the shower with me in the morning and plays. His real bath with hair washing and such is every evening. I don't think he has ever went to bed without a bath.

LadyXaverian

Every night (with some exceptions now and then), but unless it's gotten crusty, we only wash her hair every other night.

ASmallWonder

Twice in the winter now that he doesn't paint his hair with food and all that.  Obviously more if there was a messy art project at school or something unusual.  His hair never seems dirty and he gets a good wipedown with diaper changes.  Bu

candaceleigh21

He gets 2 baths with soap a week. He gets a bath with no soap every 2 days. He skins gets sooo dry if I use soap more than that.

wino2006

Every other night in the winter months (otherwise their skin gets too dry), every night during spring, summer because they get so filthy playing outside.

kellyrn9956

Right now, only 2x per week for my tiny one. Once he starts day care, I'm thinking every other day until he starts to get dirty, and then every day.

mama&baby

We do every other night..if he makes a big mess we will give him a bath regardless, and if we are out late or don't really feel like it, we can skip a night. LO has really long hair, so sometimes it's better to let the natural oils build to act as a co

DS is almost 2.5. He gets baths 5-6 nights a week.

At 3, twice a week or as needed.

Kids have swimming lessons in the fall/winter and live in the lake in the summer.
