She has very dry, textured hair so I will wet it, condition it and comb it out every few days between washes. That gets the chunks of playdoh and food out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037663 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:44:54 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2037663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do bath every night (part of his routine), but have recently switched to washing his hair every other night b/c he has such a dry scalp in the winter. I usually do conditioner as well on the nights that we don't wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037587 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:59:39 +0000 .twist. 2037587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did baths every night and hair wash every night for a long time. Now that he's a bit older and puts his hands in his hair less often, we give baths every other night unless he's super messy. Daycare leaves the kid pretty sweaty though so... a lot of nights he gets a bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037424 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:37:54 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2037424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do bath every 2-3 nights and wash hair every other bath unless she gets really dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037416 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:33:41 +0000 avivoca 2037416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bathe/wash hair once a week and spot clean the other days.

We do "spot cleaning" with cotton balls or wet wipes if he's somehow managed to get milk in his ear or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037224 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:12:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2037224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When younger and they always had food in it - yes!</p> <p>Now though I was it every 2 or 3 days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037199 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:57:51 +0000 Mae 2037199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 mo and we have always done baths (and wash hair) every other night. She has sort of dry skin and I think washing her more often would dry her out. And we SAH so she doesn't really get that messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037129 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:18:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2037129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did when they were babies but now that they're older, we do a bath every other night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037108 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:05:32 +0000 artsyfartsy 2037108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He gets a bath every other night and gets his hair washed with baby shampoo/soap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037102 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:03:52 +0000 blackbird 2037102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did for a long time because she got food in it. Now if it's clean, I let it be. She usually gets it all wet, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037064 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 08:37:08 +0000 edelweiss 2037064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no--we only bathe LO every other day, and we don't shampoo his hair each time, mostly rinse. it's pretty dry in our house and LO has a tendency to get eczema, so most nights it's just water, no soap.shampoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037060 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 08:33:31 +0000 Anagram 2037060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day typically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2037055 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 08:23:11 +0000 Smurfette 2037055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually.

My DD (5 months) gets a bath every other day and I wash her (very little) hair like once a week. She's a baby so she doesn't get very dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2036848 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 22:43:26 +0000 Tanjowen 2036848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a bath every night because it's part of his routine and settles him, and he looooves his bathtime! I only use bath wash every other night, and alternate with aveeno baby oatmeal bath. I pour the water over him and his hair and it does a nice job of gently cleansing and moisturizing his skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2036798 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 21:56:37 +0000 shopaholic 2036798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. every day. but usually she has gotten at least some form of food in it. And if it gets even remotely wet in the bath, I'll have to wash it or else it would be a tangled mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2036780 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 21:48:32 +0000 Boogs 2036780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: The baby literally stinks so much by the end of the day :( so I feel bad not washing him. But I also don't want to dry out his scalp since he still gets a bit of cradle cap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2036575 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:55:37 +0000 sarac 2036575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. I still don't regularly wash my preschooler's hair in anything other than just water. As a baby, and now, she just didn't and doesn't get that messy. If she'd been the type to spit up I might have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2036488 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:10:11 +0000 mrsjyw 2036488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daily during summer... Every other day during winter. We just let him play in the water on non hair wash nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2036483 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:09:05 +0000 78h2o 2036483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash her and her hair every other day, unless she's really dirty for some reason. Usually if she gets a bath or shower two days in a row, I won't wash her hair with soap more than once. Sometimes I will even have her go two days without a bath if I'm busy or not feeling well; I give her a sponge bath instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-washing#post-2035971 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:00:00 +0000 Boogs 2035971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you wash your babies every night? Also, how often do you wash their hair? We give our baby nightly baths, and I was telling DH I'm not sure that we should wash his hair so often. Though, most days he gets spit up in it, so I feel bad not washing him! What do you do about washing your baby? </p>
