On her 2 month birthday we started a bedtime routine that includes a bath every night. We only use bubbles every other night so that she doesn't dry out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769317 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:28:03 +0000 JerricaBenton 769317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still don't do a tub bath every night at almost 3 months. We do it probably 3 nights a week but I usually give her a sponge bath on the other mornings. In the beginning baths were more infrequent but now that she spits up more she needs them more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769308 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:24:05 +0000 Koolbreeze 769308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started DS1 on baths daily as soon as his cord stump fell off. He had bad GERD and he'd smell bad if we didn't bathe him. DS2 was a couple months old when we started putting him in the bath daily with DS2. Before that it was once every few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769276 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:14:59 +0000 Mrsbells 769276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once her belly button healed we gave her a bath every night, its part of her bedtime routine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769275 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:14:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 769275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WE switched to every other day around 4 months and now are on every night since 6, she loves it and I think it helps her establish a routine, bath and then bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769268 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:10:49 +0000 anbanan15 769268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started daily baths once his umbilical stump fell off and completely healed. It fell off at 3 weeks so sometime shortly after that. He projectile vomited a lot so daily baths were needed. Before that we did sponge baths every other or every 3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769261 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:07:25 +0000 shopaholic 769261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started baths at least every other day since Week 1. She actually loves bath time and it ccould calm her down if ever need be. She also has reflux and tends to spit up a lot and likes to suck on her clenched fists. So every night he neck and palms are what I focus most on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769181 Thu, 09 May 2013 07:17:08 +0000 ladyfingers 769181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started doing nightly baths around 6 weeks, as part of his bedtime routine. We don't use body wash every night, maybe every other night. He loves the sound of running water so it started as a way to calm him down. He also had cradle cap so we were using a foam shampoo every night to get rid of it, and the routine stuck. He doesn't like sponge baths, he gets too cold. His skin never got dry from doing it nightly either, if it had we would have backed off a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769168 Thu, 09 May 2013 07:13:37 +0000 winniebee 769168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it every 3 days or so for awhile, then 3x a week or so. Around 3 months we started a bath every night - he loves the water and it became part of his bedtime routine. Even at almost 12 months we don't wash him every night - more like every other night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769161 Thu, 09 May 2013 07:10:14 +0000 edelweiss 769161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it happened gradually--i think around 8 weeks we started upping it from 2 or 3x per week to every other night, and by 12 weeks he was having a bath almost every night. he doesn't need it that frequently, but he likes the bath so i enjoy that part of our routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769146 Thu, 09 May 2013 07:00:11 +0000 autumnlove 769146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was every other day from the time her stump fell off until 11 months when it switched to nightly baths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769141 Thu, 09 May 2013 06:58:10 +0000 heffalump 769141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did every 3 days until about 2 months, and then every other day until 3 months and then we switched to daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769098 Thu, 09 May 2013 06:17:56 +0000 Smurfette 769098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 6 weeks we started daily or every other day since she spits up so much and loves them now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769094 Thu, 09 May 2013 06:14:45 +0000 mamabolt 769094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9.5 months with it getting warmer so she was playing outside more and getting into everything we moved to daily baths. Before that it was 2-3x a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769091 Thu, 09 May 2013 06:07:12 +0000 Weagle 769091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would do every other day in the neck cheese phase. That turned to 2-3x/week from about 8 weeks-9 months. We've been giving baths daily since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769083 Thu, 09 May 2013 05:51:58 +0000 blackbird 769083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, I've been wondering this, too! E is 4.5 weeks old and just started spitting up more-once a week isn't cutting it! But I don't want to overdo it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769075 Thu, 09 May 2013 05:21:36 +0000 beachbee 769075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO loves bath time and always has. As a newborn she would be screaming and as soon as she got in the water she stopped crying immediately. So we started doing baths daily pretty early on, I'd say around 3.5 weeks. We don't use soap everyday but we like to let her take a dip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769074 Thu, 09 May 2013 05:20:04 +0000 tinyperson 769074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started 3x a week around 4 months because she loves her bath. She's really not dirty enough for more than that. We will bathe her more often if necessary, but she only poos every 6-10 days right now, so she really doesn't need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769073 Thu, 09 May 2013 05:14:42 +0000 ALV91711 769073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just started at about 5.5 weeks. We went from twice a week to every three days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baths-more-frequently#post-769069 Thu, 09 May 2013 05:05:03 +0000 lomom 769069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we bathe LO 2x a week, he's 3.5 weeks old. </p> <p>When did you increase the frequency? </p>
