i bathe DD every other day. her pedi said everyday would dry out her skin. of course if she's really sweaty or spits up a ton then she gets a bathe regardless.
everyday as part of bedtime routine. she was starting to develop eczema though so the pedi told me not to use J&J baby wash and to use Dove unscented for sensitive skin and now she is like velvet.
now i wipe her down every day with a sponge bath (otherwise she smells like cheese with the teething spit/spitting up) and gets a full fledged bath every other night before bed (unless she is super messy or something)
My pedi told me 1 bath per week for each month old LO is; up until they start solids then baths will most likely need to be everyday. We tend to do 1-2/week depending on what we did during the week. LO doesn't get really dirty anyways.

SURPRISE BFP!! (October 2012)
We bath her 2-3 times a week unless she has vomited a lot or had a diaper blow out. Her skin was getting too dried out if we tried to do it more often,
Every other day as part of his bedtime routine - I'm sure I could do it every three or four days, but he enjoys it. On the alternating days I just wipe him down with a washcloth before bed.

Twice a week...she has major dryness on her face & I am busy bathing 2 other kids all the other nights. Once she has better head control, her skin clears up & I can do it easily by myself, I'll add more. When I just had the one infant we did it much more frequently.

Every night - it's part of the bedtime routine. We started it when we couldn't handle the witching hour any more - it's made a big difference.

This. Unless she has a big blowout, then she gets bathed more.
