Every other day. E inherited my dry skin, and lotion doesn't help so I try to keep soap and long soaks to a minimum. I confess that it's been a while since I last gave her a bath, maybe thursday or friday? I planned on it tonight and then she ended up wanting to go to bed earlier than usual. She's not swimming in her own filth, though, I do give her wipe downs throughout the day when needed.

I had to do this with DS2. His eczema was terrible. The doctor told me to bathe him as little as possible.
This. We just started about a week ago...usually he's in a bib and just a diaper because it gets so messy. So usually daily, but if we don't do solids at night, then he'll get a bath every 2 days or so.
WowI know I'm not the only one that is still on the once every 5 or 6 days schedule! Our pediatrician said that was fine at 4 months and it's such a production that I keep trying I increase frequency but it doesn't happen. He's so crazy active in the bath that we both need to be home right before bedtime with nothin else going on to run a bath...and that doesn't happen often enough!
We do a bath every other day. He gets sweaty from being held all the time and I love the clean baby smell. But I don't stress if we need to miss a night.
2-3 times a week. With me being back at work we bathe less. She's not smelly even though we cut back on baths. My mom will be doing bathes on Tuesday with her, and we bathe on Sundays and Thursdays. Seems to work out good for us. If she starts smelling icky before bath day then I give one.

We've been on daily baths for a long time...Its been part of the bedtime routine.
Yep, this is us too.

About twice a week. I have gone a full week between though when I forgot. I don't really see it as an issue though, I mean it's not like she's "dirty"
