I dreaded giving her a bath and I would avoid it. I could never understand having it be part of her bedtime routine because it was SO not relaxing for her. But now she loves splashing around!

Then she graduated to the Puj tub, then the angled baby tub. We normally only use water with drops of oil in it. But when she's funky, she'd get a double rinse with actual baby shampoo/soap. She's almost 4 mo and we bathe her every other day with water and oil and with soap only once a week. We use Weleda Baby Calendula.

She didn't spit up or blow out her diapers. I wiped her with a soft rag every day, but a bath was more of a fun thing. Even now at 13 months, some days she'll have three and play, and then today it's been a few days.
