    Ditto this.  And apparently twice when we are playing outside in the dirt and picking up worms.

    Now I feel like I have to justify why I only bath my girls three times a week!

    In the winter they have really dry skin and bathing only makes it worse, no matter what kind of moisturizer I use.  In the summer they do get bathed every other day unless we are getting dirty outside and then they get a bath that day.

    Nope, I don't know anyone else IRL that does. They all think I'm nuts. My coworker says "but they don't even sweat" lol

    We usually do every other or every third in the winter because of dry skin. In the summer, its typically every day because she gets dirty outside. If it rained and she's not super dirty, we will sometimes skip it.

    Same here. A bath at least once a day, regardless of what's going on, where we are, etc.

    I used to do daily baths, but now I find that every other day works just fine unless he is really dirty.

    We do at least every other day, more so if needed.

    DS has eczema and I still bathe him every day. Our pedi said that you have to get the dead skin off. So I don't use soap during every bath. Normally I do one day with no soap at all, the second day I only wash his hands, feet. face, and butt, and the third day I wash everything. I use soap only at the very end of the bath, right before I drain it.

    I've noticed that the times I do skip a day of bathing his eczema is worse.
