baths - how often? - Page 4

[gwerydd]

usually ever couple of days, although it's been a while. i also bathe with her if she's cranky and nothing seems to work to cheer her up. we just get in the bath together and the splashing of water and the unlimited access to both boobs usually works to better her mood for a while.

Every other day.

Every 2-3 days, unless he's covered in sunscreen or bug spray.

I only use soap about once every two weeks.

We wash hands about 100 times a day.

Me, too! Hubby and I were just saying how terrible we are at it. It just seems unnecessary, and DS has developed a hatred of the bath tub.

Ds1 we gave a bath every day b/c that's what we thought we were supposed to do. So ds2 we did the same. He had a lot of dry flaky skin, so I asked the ped about it and she say NOT to bathe a baby daily! She suggested every other day, with good wipings before bed.

Admittedly, now that we're at our 4th, we find even more days are going between baths. Oops.

Sounds to me like you're just about perfect!
