Bathing - How often?

Lauren&Joe · March 2011

How often do you/did you bath your 2-3 month old? Charlotte has a bit of dry skin so we've been putting off bathing her as often, but I'm begining to wonder if she's going to be the smelly kid in school. LOL.

At that age DD had dry skin as well and her pedi recommended every other day, unless she had a major blowout or something that made us need to bathe her sooner.

I think I did like every other day when Ashlyn was that age. Poor second child definitely only got one every 3ish days, unless he was super poopy or pukey.

We do every other day usually - some times every 3 days through the winter when his skin was more dry.

I have read that they only need a bath like twice a week. I probably give Lila a bath more like every other day or so... she may not need it but since she's started spitting up more, she stinks!

Every other day at most for Max. Leo gets one every night though because it is part of his bedtime routine.

2x a week unless otherwise needed

every 2-3 days unless she gets dirty. She has a ton of hair and by the third day it starts to look greasy!

We did every 2-3 days too. C had lots of hair and it looked really greasy after 3 days too. Eww.

We do baths every tues, thurs, and once on the weekend.

At that age we did every 2 or 3 days or as needed for blowouts.

Apparently I am the slacker mom that only has 1 kid (meaning I have no excuse) but at that age we did like once a week maybe twice a week. I would wipe him down with wipes or a damp rag daily to make sure his neck rolls didnt get funky but other than that 1x-2x/week was plenty and our pedi agreed. Nicholas had kind of greasy hair but washing it daily would have been the only thing to fix that and I didnt feel like washing his hair daily and drying his skin.

This - only Fin had not much hair so we never had to worry about greasy hair. We didn't start bathing more until he was crawling and eating solid foods.
