Was 1x a week before. My older two are at 3ish times a week because it’s summer and they get sweaty but then we’re also in the pool and rinse there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838406 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:48:06 +0000 cat620 2838406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my kids were babies, and even now that they are preschool age, we usually bathe them every other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838222 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 19:08:20 +0000 MsBAM 2838222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it maybe 5 times a week. DS loves bath time so I bathe him a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838141 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 11:08:23 +0000 MaryM 2838141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started out at once a week (or once every 7-10 days)</p> <p>Now that he's eating purees, it's probably 2-3 times a week, based on how messy he gets. If it's too hard to just wipe him down, we'll do a quick bath. </p> <p>He has eczema, so I don't want to overwash him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838137 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 10:52:10 +0000 BlueWolverine 2838137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day as part of the bedtime routine. 5yo and 2yo like to take a bath together. Wash hair every other day. Not a big deal if we skip nights here or there. DD1 usually does a great job of getting dirty at pre-k, so she actually does need it.</p> <p>We've been doing the nightly bath since babyhood. When really young, probably every other night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838123 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 09:56:15 +0000 periwinklebee 2838123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once/week. We've experimented, and it does definitely bother his eczema, though we moisturize very thoroughly as soon as he comes out of the tub. So we bathe once a week but wipe down as needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838116 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 09:37:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2838116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my girls were winter babies. During fall/winter we only bathe once a week (of course, more if warranted, but we try to just wipe down). In the summer, it's as needed so some weeks almost everyday/every other day, some weeks 2x a week, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838110 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 09:22:09 +0000 Sams Mom 2838110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Son is nearly 2 1/2 and he showers with husband or I almost daily because he loves the water; but he probably only gets soaped up a couple times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838109 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 09:12:24 +0000 Kaohinani 2838109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an "every-other-day" kinda mom. I bathe 🚿🛀 every day but I alternate my kids' bathing days. My 10-year-old showers every other day (evenings) and may take a quick bath in the morning if she needs it. My 3-year-old gets a bath on the nights my daughter doesn't shower and, in the mornings, I either quickly "wash cloth" him down or I use Mustela physiobebe no rinse cleansing water and Burt's Bees baby oil on him as he has really dry skin. 💗. I just LOVE the baby-clean smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838083 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 22:25:04 +0000 lady baltimore 2838083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was bathed once a week or less when she was teeny. I don't think we increased the frequency until she started solids at 6 months.</p> <p>Now, at 2.5, she takes a bath 2-3 times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838078 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 20:33:35 +0000 buttermilk 2838078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathe my 3 year old girl once or twice a week. We did more like EOD when she was a baby, but I don’t have the same amount of time or energy now that she’s a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838075 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 19:59:22 +0000 starchild 2838075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves bathtime! We include it as part of her bedtime routine, so we do it every night but we use soap only every other night to not dry out her skin. Otherwise it's just water. Still refreshing. Besides how much she loves it, I feel better with her in daycare washing off the gunk of the day. My coworker's niece was getting sick a lot and their ped suggested a nightly bath because of daycare so I'm glad we do it. If she's having an off night we can skip it here or there but it really does help with having a routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2838023 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 12:02:59 +0000 wrkbrk 2838023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 times a week although my goal is every other day 😂 Somehow it just never happens.

It really was a calming thing for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837999 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 22:00:52 +0000 Alexandra603 2837999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we bathe every 3rd day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837997 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 21:52:27 +0000 daniellemybelle 2837997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always done every other night for both our kids unless they are super dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837977 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 20:06:02 +0000 dolphin 2837977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837928 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 12:29:06 +0000 pachamama 2837928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less than once a week when my son was young- maybe twice a month? It was winter, he was tiny and I didn't want to make him more fussy than he was. He also never had blow outs and never spit up so he was extremely clean! He always smelled delicious and never had dry skin, allergies or rashes. I'm so glad now we never got into the routine and we don't have to do a nightly bath - bedtime is long enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837927 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 12:24:58 +0000 Littlebit7 2837927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First kid: every night<br /> Second kid: every 7-10 days.</p> <p>Also, eta: I’ve noticed far less skin irritations with my second. Less patchy redness, less heat rash. I don’t know if it’s just the kid but they both appear to have similar skin at baseline (both get irritations due to heat or topicals) but his skin seems to be more resilient. I don’t know if that’s because we bathe him less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837922 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 11:43:23 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2837922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 week old 3/4 times a week depending on how things are going</p> <p>2.5 year old nightly although he misses one at least a week due to our activities and schedule </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837918 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 10:38:17 +0000 Silva 2837918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>before solids, about once a week. especially during colder months- their skin can get so dried out and irritated. After we start solids (baby led weaning) we usually have to do a quick rinse off after dinner every night. And then in summer months, once they are mobile, they almost always need one every night. Winter is less frequent.<br /> We still only use soap/shampoo once a week for my 5 1/2 year old. And rarely do we use soap for my two year old. Water gets him cleaned up, and his sensitive skin reacts to too much washing.</p> <p>ETA: we never use soap on a little baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837917 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 10:29:16 +0000 KT326 2837917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first got a bath almost nightly after starting daycare at 4 months and still does at 6.5 years old. My second.... he maybe got a bath once every two weeks? He hated baths until he was over a year old. Now at almost 20 months he gets a bath a few times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837904 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 08:04:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 2837904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’ve never been an every day kind of family. My older one used to hate baths and get so worked up so t never worked well as a calm part of her bedtime routine. So yeah usually 2-3 times a week. We still do that at 2.5 and 5 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837896 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 06:11:07 +0000 FaithFertility 2837896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once they were like 3-4 months we did ED to establish a routine, soap maybe every fee days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837892 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 05:23:02 +0000 erinbaderin 2837892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they were babies, every two or three days but by five months we were doing it daily as part of the bedtime routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-you-bathe-baby#post-2837889 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 00:55:25 +0000 agold 2837889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every night for both my girls since about 2 weeks old.
