It used to be once a week, because she screamed bloody murder when we did bathtime. Last week though, she actually enjoyed it, so we've been doing it every night. FOr whatever reason, she had a complete change of heart.
We had been doing it every other day but he likes it so much and it soothes him before bedtime, so I think we're going to start doing it every day. I just don't wash his hair/head every day because he has a very mild case of cradle cap.
a few times a week if I do it anymore her skin starts to dry out. She has sensitive skin. I also give her a bath if she is messy or she has been swiming or has sunblock on.

Every other day. In the winter it will be every 3 days. We do not do it as part of a routine. It is a disaster when they are older and for some reason can't get a bath on a certain night because they are used to the routine. DS would have a total meltdown if we have to deviate from his routine at night and sometimes you are out late and can't do it.
It used to be 4x a week but now it every single night. She loves bath time and I love how clean she is before bed. Love rocking her and kissing her head and smelling her
Every night. On a side note DS has dry, sensitive skin. His pedi said it's a myth that bathing dries the skin out. She actually recommends frequent bathing for dry skin and eczema. It's all a matter of the types of products you use. She said that while baby products may not burn the eyes it doesn't necessarily mean they are gentle and won't strip the skin of oils.
A bath given with Cetaphil wash and Cetaphil cream moisturizer applied directly after leaves the skin in better condition than prior to the bath...now the hair and scalp are a different story and she recommends twice weekly.
Just my pedi's advice...don't shoot the messenger!

We had 2 years of IF trying to conceive #2 and one loss during that time. We are currently trying for #3! had another loss the end of June
Every night - it's part of her bedtime routine. She loves baths! I use soap every other day, and I only wash her hair once a week. sometimes we miss bath time if we were out late or if she has a late nap, but it doesn't bother her to break routine.
We try for every other day, but sometimes she goes 2 days with out one.

I found that with DS going to daycare, he got sick more often when we bathed him less often (like every other day), so both kids gets bathed/showered each night.

Re: How often do you give your LO a bath?
everyday,
in the shower with me or DH.
Every other night. Unless she was outside and sweaty or had sun block on, then she gets a bath everynight.
This.

Every night. Very rarely do we go without a bath, its just part of her bedtime routine.
Ditto this, or if he makes a huge mess while eating or poops everywhere.
