How often do you bathe your baby

Settle a debate - our 8 month old is bathed once a week unless she's had some blow outs/bad poops or is particularly dirty from weaning. How often do you bathe yours. Sure we were told more than that wasn't necessary

Every other day.

My daughter now has a bath everyday since she loved putting her food in her hair

Everyday. It's been a part of our Bedtime routine since a few months old

Twice a week for my LO.

Every other day

My son has eczema so only bath him every other day otherwise it drys his skin out too much.

Every other day

At that age 4/5 times a week which isn’t one of the options

Everyday, it's part of our bedtime routine.

About 3 times a week from 1 months old, except when she had diarrhoea (daily) and chickenpox (daily porridge baths).

At 8 months we were probably doing every day as part of his bedtime routine, but eventually we dropped it down to 1-2 times a week when we realized the bath had zero impact on whether he slept well or not. It was more exhausting for us to do it every day and it’s definitely not needed that much.

Twice a week I'd say.

He’s a messy eater so everyday. Only use soap twice a week though or if we’ve been swimming

Everyday, dinner is messy 😂 and it’s part of our bedtime routine it’s her fave time of the day. But we don’t wash her every day just use water.

I do every other day usually unless we’re both feeling a bit under the weather then I’ll leave an extra day because she can get upset quite easily when she’s unwell

Every 2-3 days for my 5 month old

Every other day 😊

Unless you want it part of a bedtime routine or something you should be perfectly fine. I just went with however messy they were, certain activities like the pool, or if they were being moody. My kids love the water to the point it can't be part of bedtime, they won't sleep. Does wonders for their grumpy moods though. Seems they definitely get that from me 😅

2-3 times a week for my almost 10 month old. But sometimes I end up bathing him twice a day (once a week) because he ends up getting into something he’s not supposed to lol but it’s ok I don’t mind him exploring. I used to bathe him everyday at night to make him sleepy but found that wetting his hair did and still does the trick, even for nap time.
