How often do you bathe LO? I currently bathe her twice a weeK. Is this enough since she is not crawling yeT.

Once or twice a week, unless there a blowout or he's been held by a lot if people.

Every other night

laurenann89 · September 2014

2-3 times a week.

Hdhtk4 · September 2014

Every other night.

3 times a week. My MIL bathes her on Tues/Thurs, and we bathe her once on the weekend.

Also every other night. Unless she's been around a lot of people or touched a lot. She gets a bath those nights even if she had one the night before.

Hmm, I can't say for sure.
LO sometimes showers with me in the morning, sometimes a midday or evening bath.

I don't think he can get any dirtier when he starts crawling than he gets when he tries to feed himself.

I'd say I 'try' to get each kid cleaned every other day, but it doesn't happen that way.
DS1 usually has a shower every 3rd or 4th day. He may be lucky enough to get a bath in between.
LO sometimes baths with DS1, and occasionally showers with me and DH.

Lets say ~minimum 7 times a month he gets a full blown cleaning. Lol.

Every day to keep the routine for bedtime. But if I didn't, @CHPhotoMama‌ , I would wipe down the food residue while I was changing him into his pajamas.

We talked about this when the babies were really little, but my answer has changed. We used to be every other day or every third day but since he's started solids and starting going to daycare we wash or rinse him almost every night. It's part of the bedtime routine and I hate messing with that.

@CHPhotoMama‌
LO gets really messy when eating so he gets a washcloth wipe down after eating, just like his big brother.
We make it fun and he laughs when I do it. I wipe his entire face and even his hair sometimes. (He has lost most of his hair since birth).

If he gets food down his shirt then he gets another wipe down when getting his pjs on.

As for drool and spit up ... LO doesn't spit up except on very rare occasions. Drool ... Ya, but I wipe his face frequently throughout the day or he mashes his face into a blanket and dries himself that way.

About every 3rd day.

sambrownmac10 · September 2014

He gets bathed daily, we sometimes miss a night if we're busy and out late. That usually happens once every couple if weeks.

SurpriseAt39 · September 2014

I just bathed/showered both kids.

LO peed the very minute I put him in the water. Lol.

Nightly.

babylimas · September 2014

We only do about once a week. I know it sounds like an excuse, but I have no time! Will falls asleep about 6:00/6:30 right after we walk in the door. And he wakes up at 5 am then sleeps until it's time to leave in the morning. On the mornings he's awake I take him in the shower with me but that's not very often. I wipe him down pretty frequently.

dancer7889 · September 2014

Every night unless we are out late or she's extremely fussy/tired. She loves then and It gives her and DH time together.

jlb1023 · September 2014

Every other day (unless there's a blowout or some other mess). I know it's been talked about before but I was wondering about it again too now that the babes are a bit older.

Sooo... What do you do when your baby is messy from baby food if you don't bathe them every day? Just a wipe down? Just wondering. I feel like a bath is do much easier than trying to wipe her down with a wipe or cloth.

A dampened washcloth.

PerkyErky · September 2014

When I think to myself "when was the last time he got a bath?" And I don't know the answer. It is about once or twice a week. He gets regular wipe downs and isn't a really messy eater, but even then he gets a good wipe down. If he has a poop explosion he gets one.

amybug13 · September 2014

Every night. It's part of our bedtime routine.

BrideNamedMeg · September 2014

Every night - my big kids too. It's just always been part of our nightly routine....and we don't have much of a routine that's just our one thing

Lydia starts getting fussy and tired around 5:00 or 5:30 these days. I try and distract her for awhile, then give her a bath and get her ready for bed. She's down before 7:00 most nights.

yalllow · September 2014

Every night. DS1 and DS2 at the same time: Bath with a squeeze Thomas the Train that is used to squirt DS2 in the eye balls and up the nostrils. When DS2 has had enough waterboarding, hubs gets son 1 in pjs and I dress and feed baby.

Haha! Pretty much this exactly!

Wait, wait, wait...forget crawling - doesn't your baby poop at least once a day?? That's enough reason to bathe often, don't ya think?!
I've been bathing my baby girl every other night since she was 2 months old. Only a few times have we skipped a night so 2 nights in between and we def don't skip that 3rd night. Bath time is part of her routine. She knows after a bath comes bottle then bed. I highly suggest bathing every night or every other, regardless of crawling.

babylimas · September 2014

Thank goodness Will only poops every 3 days.

Ummm no. LO averages one poop a week, and even then I don't give him a bath on "poop days@ unless it's a blowout. our water is high in chlorine so indknt want to give him a bath more than necessary.
Also, we stay home about 85% of the time and he doesn't get sorry enough to warrant a bath everyday or even every 3 days.
