    Right now we do every other night or of course more often if they get into something messy. I think we willbe moving to once a day soon as they are eating real foods now and love smearing it all over their hair and face!

    For the first few months it was only once a week. Now we do twice-Sunday and Wednesday nights.

    Glad to see 2x/week is the top answer!  LOL
    I felt like I wasn't doing it often enough, but honestly - it's so hard and my daughter still hates baths.  We're working on it.  My son figured out this week that they can be fun, so we may start more often.  :)

    When it was winter and they weren't really eating a bunch of finger food, every other night.

    Once it got warm, they play outside, gets unscreened and smear themselves w food on the daily. So since they were 10-11mo old, daily baths.

    Every night for our 9-month-olds, but that's just because it's part of the bedtime routine. I don't wash hair every night because it doesn't get that dirty unless there is a big mess with food or it has sunscreen in it. I don't think every night is necessary just for cleanliness.

    We aim for every other day but it's more like 3x per week. Life is just so busy!

    I do every other day : )  Sometimes if life is crazy I will do it according to my week.  Sometimes it may be a couple days in a row then sometimes they might not get one for a couple days but they are always cleaned up with wipes and lotion put on : )

    Not often enough. Now that they are FF they always smell. However my laziness and exhaustion win and they stay smelly. Probably 2 nights a week they get a bath but within hours they spit up and smell like gerber again.

    Every night as our bed time routine (bath, bottle, bed). We use soap every other night though. Their necks just get so stinky!

    We have done every night for a long time but C has a bit of eczema on his face. If it doesn't get better with the lotion I'll have to drop to every other day. I don't want to because the kids love bath time and it helps them get to sleep.

    We do baths 1-2x/week. But we wash faces, hands and necks daily as part of our bedtime routine. I'm sure once we start adding food there will be have to be more frequent baths, right now it's just too difficult to find the time!

    We have always done baths about 3x/wk (more in the summers when they're older).
