Bath Time

How often are you bathing your LO? Are you still using an infant tub? If so, are you using it in the sink or the regular bath tub? if you are not still using the infant tub, when did you transition? Thanks!

We do bath every other day for both kids. DD is till in an infant tub, placed in the big tub. We will move her to the regular tub when she sits independently. I cannot wait for that as we will be able to bathe the kids together and I will not have to wash the infant tub anymore!

With both my kids I only bathed three to four times a week when they were babies. DD had really bad dry skin and DS is starting with dry skin issues. I used an infant tub inside the big tub with DD until she could sit on her own, at that point more often than not I bathed her in the sink just because it was easier. I guess it was around 13 months or so that I started bathing her in the large bathtub all the time. My infant tub goes up to toddler so room was never an issue it more about space as to why I stoped using it.

We shampoo and wash every other night... (but he spits up a lot, so if it gets all down into his neck and stuff, we bathe that night)

and we actually sit in the tub with him... (H and I love taking baths lol) one of us get in and take him and keep him in our lap. We let him kick and splash the water to kind of wear him out (and boy does he love doing it!) after a little bit of playing around, we soap him up a clean him. The other of us not in the tub has a towel ready so he doesn't get cold and starts the bedtime routine (lotion up and get into a sleeper)...

I do it every other night. Use the infant tub and have it on the counter next to the bathroom sink or put it in the bathtub. I will keep using the infant tub until he outgrows it like I did with DD.

We bathe every other day, but I think we're going to start doing daily baths because it helps with his nighttime routine. We use the infant tub in the sink. We stopped using the newborn sling recently when he hit 3 months.

Same here.

We only bathe once a week or so. she doesn't really spit up or make a mess of herself. Yet.

We just have a foam mat in the regular tub, and she loves to lay in the water and splash!

We do a bath once a week and showers in between. We still use her baby bath - she seems more comfortable in it, but it's hard on us. I'm excited to transition to the big bath eventually, but I want to wait until she's can sit on her own.

every other night or so. And mostly she baths with me. I love soaking in the tub, so one of our favourite things is to go for a run and then come home and hop in the bath. Good bonding time, good skin to skin, she gets to kick and splash and "swim" and mom gets her bath. win/win

We bathe her every night. I like it as part of the routine and she knows it's bed time. We use the infant tub, in the sink and took the sling out after her cord stump fell off. I guess when she can sit up better we will move her, she's working on it very hard!

we bathe once ever 2-4 days, mostly because i forget or am too tired to. we used the infant tub for about the first 3 months, then i had to visit my parents for about a week, and didn't bring it with me, so i started hold her in the tub in my lab, i put in about 3-5 inches of water, and i make sure to be vary careful. i let her kick her legs, and float about in the water *with my help of course* and she loves it so much, she is a big strong kicker!!
