We've used shampoo for a while (not that she has any hair!) but even at 8 months I don't put much soap in the tub itself. If she's super messy or has sunscreen on I will, but it's not a priority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-833124 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:18:45 +0000 birdofafeather 833124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right away, but only every other bath or so. and we definitely didn't bathe her every day. still don't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-833007 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:49:49 +0000 stargal 833007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right away. i use soap daily on him but he has the least sensitive skin ive ever seen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832999 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:47:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 832999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away because he had cradle cap and our pedi suggested it. But now (10 months) he gets a nightly bath but I really only use soap maybe twice a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832993 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:46:07 +0000 Crisark 832993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away.

We use moisturizing stuff b/c of her eczema. She just gets so smelly if you just rinse her off. And with all the creams we put on her, she gets greasy. yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832742 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 11:54:33 +0000 photojane 832742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away!

I didn't even know people didn't use soap. I guess she didn't need it for the first month. After we had to start supplementing with formula though - stink city! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832294 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:54:51 +0000 mrsjyw 832294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as soon as his stump fell off. we use a couple of drops in the bath water, but use shampoo on his head because he has a TON of hair... he needs it! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832283 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:52:11 +0000 Smurfette 832283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: It is so gross.

We use soap every other day so she doesn't dry out. But I think going to start using it every night now she is almost 3 months and at day care. Use shampoo every night. This is mostly cause a lot of times when she spits up, when sitting, it drips behind her neck so gets her hair in the back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832245 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:42:50 +0000 looch 832245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After his skin stopped peeling, I want to say around 10 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832236 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:40:37 +0000 autumnlove 832236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as her stump fell off. We use a tiny amount of soap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832231 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:39:32 +0000 edelweiss 832231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>these responses are all confirming my suspicions that i am unhygienic and lazy. poor LO, bearing the brunt of it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832224 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:37:49 +0000 edelweiss 832224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: definitely when he gets into solids i'll start using the soap. i'm just lazy about incorporating it right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832222 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:36:19 +0000 DillonLion 832222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away, as soon as the stump fell off. But she goes to daycare and I am adamant about washing all those daycare germs off of her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832221 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:36:15 +0000 Bao 832221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832217 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:35:40 +0000 immabeetoo 832217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep right away, once or twice a week. Now that he gets food on him, more often. It's super gentle so it doesn't stress me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832215 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:35:32 +0000 pl0508 832215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away. We like aveeno baby body wash but use J and J shampoo on his head. For some reason his head needs sonething more soapy/less creamy than the aveeno ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832208 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:33:44 +0000 MamaMoose 832208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away! I didn't know this was something people put off. We sponge bathed here until her umbilical stump fell off but we still used soap on the wash cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832170 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:22:47 +0000 regberadaisy 832170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 2-3 months? Only because it was summer and she is a hot baby and was sweating a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-soapshampoo-on-lo#post-832164 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:21:04 +0000 edelweiss 832164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>embarrassing confession here--LO is 4.5 months old and i have yet to use soap/shampoo during his almost nightly baths. he's EBF and not crawling yet (i.e. not getting into a lot or jumping in puddles or anything), so i feel like a thorough wipedown with a washcloth and plenty of water usually does the trick. we have the baby soap all ready to go, i just haven't made the jump. </p> <p>when did you start using soap/shampoo on your LO? </p>
