Tonight he got one even though it wasn't bath night because we went to the pumpkin patch this afternoon and of course he got yucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-348846 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 20:36:23 +0000 sarac 348846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baths are not daily in my house. Sometimes she gets 3 because she loves to play in them, and some days she goes a few days. She never really gets that messy, honestly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-348435 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:22:29 +0000 prettylizy 348435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, if we're off our routine for some reason or if we're exhausted I just put her to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-348431 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:22:19 +0000 Rubies 348431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, because I'm so scared it'll mess up LO's sleep. It's part of her bedtime routine and I am so obsessed with her night time sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-348420 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:20:57 +0000 Maysprout 348420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, especially when she was smaller. Now I at least try to run a washcloth over her but once a week or so she just gets a quick wash cloth bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-348372 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:14:20 +0000 chopsuey 348372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skipped baths when she was younger, but we haven't skipped any in .. a really long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-348365 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:13:45 +0000 T-Mom 348365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO gets a bath every day but DD every other day. She has eczema and baths exacerbate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-348311 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:03:24 +0000 lemondrop 348311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we only do baths every other day or so, or when he really needs it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347698 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:48:47 +0000 banana 347698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only 2 or 3 times because he fell asleep in the car on the way home and we didnt' want to wake him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347693 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:47:23 +0000 Honeybee 347693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes DD chooses to go straight to bed instead of getting in the bath; it's usually when she's really tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347562 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:03:02 +0000 Mrsbells 347562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes sometimes if its really cold or if I am really lazy I will just give her a wipe down with a warm towel, but I try to always give her bath every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347552 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:58:41 +0000 mrsjazz 347552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO used to have a daily bath but because of her skin being super dry, the pediatrician recommended doing baths every other day. I will usually do a sponge of the nether regions on off days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347525 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:51:47 +0000 HLK208 347525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. They both have really dry skin so sometimes, I just do a spray down of the diaper region but I don't consider that to be a bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347522 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:51:20 +0000 LivsMama 347522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. The only time we skip is if we get in super late from a trip or something. I dont do them nightly because of hygeine so much. Its part of Livs bedtime routine. She LOVES her Tubby Time, and knows that when its over its bedtime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347512 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:48:40 +0000 Andrea 347512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think only once or twice when she was really sick and didn't want anything to do with it. Otherwise, I worry about setting a bad precedent, too, so I always do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347511 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:48:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 347511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ha, yes. days I'm too tired, or I sense that DS is too tired. Yesterday we babysat his cousin until 8pm which was an hour past his bedtime and he was very tired. The moment we got home I put him to bed.</p> <p>DH NEVER skips baths when he's watching DS - idk why, but he is religious about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-baths#post-347501 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:46:46 +0000 mrbee 347501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive gets a bath every day, and so does Charlie... except when I'm really exhausted, when I just skip his bath. He doesn't mind at all, although I worry it sets a bad precedent.</p> <p>Do you ever skip baths?</p> <p>ETA: I should note that I've only ever skipped his bath twice in his life! Both in the past few weeks, when I've been strangely exhausted in the evenings. </p>
