Hi ladies - my DS is 4 weeks and we are going to start giving him a "real" bath vs. a sponge bath. How often do you bathe your DC? We would like to make it part of our nighttime routine, but I have heard it is not good (especially in the winter months) to bathe your LO everyday. What are you guys doing? TIA!
Re: Bath & Nighttime routine ?
I bathe her every evening. From 6:45pm to around 7, she's in the tub. Then I give her a little massage with either the Burt's Bees lotion or the Aveeno Lavender lotion while I talk to her and tell her each body part that I'm massaging. Diapering, swaddling, then her last bottle and she's asleep by 7:30 and sleeps until around 2 or 3am. I've heard that some people that bathe every night only use soap every other evening to help reduce dryness but we haven't had that issue. Good luck!
