How often do you bathe LO?

vermont7 · May 2012

Just curious. Thanks!

Not that I'm really in a pattern yet but its looking like about twice a week. With DS it was about once a week but he was a January baby and would get really dry skin after a bath.

Every 3 days with wipe downs in between

It was every 3 days, but we've upped it to every other day because sometimes I was missing the 3rd day baths for some reason and it'd stretch to 4 days and her neck would get super irritated with spit up/formula/gunk.

2-3 times a week.

Every other day.

Every day! But we live in Jamaica so it cools him down.

I plan for every three days but sometimes more often if we have a bad blow out. Once she's a little bigger I'll put her in the tub with my older two every other day.

Twice weekly but I wash his face and neck at least once daily with warm water.

Every other day.

Same here. Still sponge baths because the cord stump is still on.

I'm managing about twice a week. I take him in the bath with me and I love it, so I'd like to do it more, but it's just hard to fit in right now.

I hate giving baths. We'll probably try for twice a week at this point, which is how often we bathe DD1. Right now DD2 isn't a big spitter and is pretty neat with her bottles so she doesn't get super dirty.

2-3 times a week. I try to wipe down his face and neck with warm water every day because he has baby acne. And we do some warm water clean up on his behind too, to prevent diaper rash.

CPhillz · May 2012

Try for every other day. He loves his baths though, so its actually fun to give them! And I am so addicted to his smell after he's all clean!

LO's circumcision is still healing (we had it done at 1 week old), so I gave him a sponge bath and washed his hair yesterday. He had a full bath before we went to the Dr. on Monday, and he loved it, until it was time to take him out! His hair looks greasy the day after he's had a bath and I can't stand it, so I definitely make sure that's done.

Us too!

Kdrake8 · May 2012

Every other day :-)

WildcatPrincess · May 2012

Every 4th day. We do DD every other day and every other bath of hers we dunk DS as well.

Johlise · May 2012

Usually every other day.

DO-JO:
Every 3 days with wipe downs in between

This. Any more and his skin gets so dry.

Torani · May 2012

Twice a week, but will probably do it more often once his cord falls off.

wils0482 · May 2012

She's had about 3 sponge baths so far (12 days old). Her cord just came off so I'm hoping to do 'regular' baths about 3 times a week.

greenkitty98 · May 2012

Once a week. She has really dry skin, so I don't want to bathe her too much. I will wipe down her face/neck with a warm washcloth more often, though. (And I would do extra baths if she had a blowout, but we haven't had any of those yet with her.)

This week, I took her in the shower with me, and she really liked that (and it was easier to do), so that's probably what I'll do from now on.

bellablue2 · May 2012

Every other day. I love her smell as well when she is all clean! I would do it every day, but her skin is still too dry. Once, its better I will bathe her daily.

danandbethg · May 2012

I live in the desert and LO has some serious eczema, so twice a week (and 1 or 2 neck wipe downs in between). Any more is too drying on his poor skin. We lotion him up with aveeno several times a day (per our pedi) and doing a little hydrocortizone on his face twice a day. He also has aveeno bathwash. Poor little guy.
