She gets washed with Dove Sensitive Baby Wash every other day. We were using Johnson &amp; Johnson baby wash prior to this, when she was getting a bath every few days, but she got a rash. Her doctor suggested the Dove soap and to alternate days between soap and water and her rash cleared up almost immediately. I'll never use a Johnson &amp; Johnson product again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1473012 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:45:17 +0000 mrsjyw 1473012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>two weeks. we made it part of his bedtime routine. now at 15 months DS goes without a bath on Sundays and Wednesdays (gymboree class runs late). WE always wash his hair because he has a ton of it... but we just put a dab of soap in the bathwater so his skin doesn't dry out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472895 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:33:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1472895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: my 4 year old niece gets bathed every other day....I think it's normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472891 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:32:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1472891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the sake of routine, we started at around 2 months....now at 6 months we use soap on Monday, Wednesday, Friday &amp; wash her hair on Fridays. All the other days she just gets rinsed off &amp; plays. It helps her wind down for bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472872 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:28:52 +0000 mamimami 1472872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still do every mostly other day and my kids are 16 months and 3! Am I bad? :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472860 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:27:38 +0000 Dandelion 1472860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. He's got eczema. I've always just did it a few times a week and now he only showers on nights that he had PE or other physical activity during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472694 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:04:43 +0000 cascademom 1472694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 18 months old, we bathe him about every other day. During the summer, he might get 3 baths a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472677 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:02:49 +0000 NurseMommy 1472677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually started out giving her a daily bath to get a routine going. In the last couple of weeks I noticed that her skin is feeling a bit dry (we live in the driest climate ever), so at 9 months I started every second day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472557 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:43:31 +0000 skibobrown 1472557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 3-ish months with occasionally skipping a night. Now we do it entirely out of habit. It's part of winding down before bed for my daughter. I think I'm going to have to start blow drying her hair soon if we keep doing baths right before bed though! It's getting long enough that it doesn't dry completely on its own before she goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472526 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:39:34 +0000 autumnlove 1472526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when they started daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472524 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:38:59 +0000 Charm54 1472524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 4 months when we started our bedtime routine. We might skip a day if we're rushed but 90% of the time she has one after her supper (which since starting solids is very messy!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472506 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:37:14 +0000 Mamasig 1472506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as his belly button was clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472434 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:29:53 +0000 buffalove 1472434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daily around 6 months - it started as a good time-killer before bedtime, and is now part of the PM routine. DS doesnt have any skin problems, and if we are busy as a miss a day, it's no biggie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472363 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:19:07 +0000 Rubies 1472363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids got daily baths from day 1 as part of their bedtime routine. Both kids have very dry skin so we make sure to keep the water cooler and moisturize like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472354 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:17:47 +0000 mediagirl 1472354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last summer we did daily baths when she turned 1. During the winter we do baths every other day. She's a sweat machine in the heat so, as soon as it warms up, we'll be back to daily again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472337 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:14:11 +0000 Smurfette 1472337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7-8 weeks but didn't use soap every time. It was more of the routine. Then at 12 weeks we use soap every night to wash off day care germs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472291 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:07:12 +0000 Adira 1472291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander's 12 months and we only bathe him 2-3 times a week because of his eczema. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472286 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:06:03 +0000 TJBee 1472286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I started giving him solid foods. He loves to play with his food (and we encourage it), but it always ends up in his hair, neck folds, squished between his fingers..etc, so he gets "bathsies" ever night now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472279 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:05:01 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1472279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do every other day, or every few days. She's 6 months old.<br /> Once she starts feeding herself and getting messy, We'll switch to daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472276 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:04:38 +0000 avivoca 1472276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at 5 months and still do not do a daily bath. I will probably start when she starts getting more mobile this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472274 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:04:04 +0000 Mamaof2 1472274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once they were walking and it was summer time - we do daily in the summer and every other in the winter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-giving-lo-a-daily-bath#post-1472265 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:02:48 +0000 MrsH 1472265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What age was your LO when you started giving him/her a daily bath? </p>
