How many times a week do you bath your baby?

So many people say different things. I vary bathing my baby between every 2-3 days (we've gone 4 days before) should we be bathing baby every night?

Re: How many times a week do you bath your baby?

  • I bathe baby about 3 times a week. She's not a big fan of the bath otherwise we'd try every night as she does seem to sleep better after it!

  • I've stared giving my LO a bath every night. #1 to set a bedtime routine and #2 she LOVES a bath. I only use soap every other day in an attempt to keep her skin from getting dry.
  • About 3 times a week.

  • We bathe every night and we use soap, she has super sensitive skin so any build up of sweat during the day really gets to her. It's been pretty warm where we live though, if it's been an excruciatingly hot day we'll do a second bath but without soap. And we use lotion after bath time to replace moisture on her skin and we don't have dry skin issues.

    About twice a week, unless she sweats then we have to bathe her otherwise she gets a rash
  • 2-3 times a week. I don't feel comfortable bathing DS on my own. He kicks so much and is so long that he pushes himself to the end of the tub and hits his head on the edge. Which terrifies me. So we only bath him when DH is home and can help make sure he doesn't hit his head. We do it on the weekend for sure and then try to do 1-2 evenings in the week.
  • Every night bc he loves it. I use soap regularly too and we have no issues withdrew soon. But we use all natural soap (honest), not stuff with drying agents and chemicals.

    This.
  • We do every night at bedtime for the routine and she loves it. But we only use soap every other night

    2-3. He definitely doesn't find it relaxing, lol, but he tolerates it now.

    We bathe every night as part of the bedtime routine.  We only wash hair every other night, but use soap on the rest of her body every day.  I especially like to clean her neck area every day because I feel like the spit-up collects in there even if you wipe it with a burp cloth.  

    Plus, DD goes to daycare, and there is definitely a "daycare smell" that I like to get rid of.  It's not a bad smell, but it's just not the natural smell of my baby or her soap that I like.

    We use honest too, I think not having the harsh chemicals is a big part of the reason why we can soap every night. (:

    I do the same exact thing :)

  • Mine loves the bath so we do it every night. If he didn't like it I would still probably do it every other night.
  • Every 2 to 3 days depending on what she did those days. 
  • Every other night. She loves her baths and she's formula fed and formula stinks when it gets on her skin so we want it off!
  • I used to every 2-3 days because I didn't like doing as she didn't like it but then I wanted to start a bedtime routine and she looooves it now almost didn't do it last night but I'm pretty sure she got angry without one I usually just put soap in the water and on areas that need extra help like her neck
  • We bath pretty much every night. She's a sweaty, drooly little girl, so I feel the need to clean her up. Especially the neck area. We use soap every day, but only shampoo every 2-3 days. She LOVES bath time, and it is the start of our bedtime routine.
