If you do bath every other night...

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
When did you or do you plan to switch to every night? B has eczema so we do every other night but with summertime and toddlerhood upon us I'm wondering if we need to start every night?

    Our dd also has eczema and our allergist recommended daily baths. He said stick to 10 minutes in the water and completely slather afterwards.

    I was just thinking about this last night! We do every other night now as well and I think we will be switching to every night in the next month once it's warmer out.

    Probably when it startes getting warmer out and she starts getting sticky from being outside. Also, she will get one for sure when she has sunblock/bugspray on this summer.

    Definately this... and if we hit the pool everyday (she was too young to go in though but  we were there ) like we did last year. We will bath when we get home in the afternoon to get the chlorine off so night time baths may go by the way side

    I started every night once it started being nice out. She goes outside at DC and has suncreen put on her each time. I want to make sure to get that off her each night. I would just make sure to lotion up well after each bath.

    Once he started walking and getting into everything. Sometimes I can skip one night if we are just going to the pool or something the next day but he gets pretty grubby because he plays hard! We probably started around 13 months or so.

    My oldest DD (almost 3) has always gotten baths every other night. The babies get baths every other night too - DD1 one night, the babies ths next night, etc. Even when all 3 can bathe together, they will still get a bath every other night.

    We do every night baths but don't use soap every night.  I do soap every other or sometimes more if she's not too dirty.

    we did every other night in the winter and now we switched back to daily baths.  Plus the kids love it more.

     

    We put on aquafor on the face, and lotion on the body, nightly.

    I use to do every other night or less due to eczema, but DD started helmet therapy so I have to wash her hair everyday due to the heat/sweat on her head. It was hard at first but I found that the Aveno Eczema both calmling wash (it looks/feels more like lotion) and the Aveno Eczema lotion that I picked up recently help a lot. 

    But I also make sure to use the non-"rough" side of the baby towels, even though she is getting too big for them. But usually once skin hits the air post bath, it starts to flare - so I lotion as fast as possible.

    Our current schedule is every other night pretty much.  Although, really I stick to whenever she's dirty and we have time.  Some nights, a wipe bath is all she gets.  I don't think that there's really a specific age where you need to start baths every day.  You could always do a bath every night but not use soap every night so you don't irritate his eczema.

    I agree with this. I don't think that just because its summer, or just because they are a certain age, it means they have to get a bath every day. I give my LO 3 a week or so. Or if she got really dirty then I'll give her one. And I'll probably continue to do that during the summer. But I do agree that they should get one if they've had sunblock or bug spray on.
