With warm weather approaching I think we will need to do nightly baths, instead of our current every few day baths we can get away with in winter. I'm not a fan of baths, so I'm trying to think of how I can get the girls cleaned up quick on some of the nights so it doesn't become a 30 minute thing every night. Any tips on doing this? One LO will shower but one refuses.

I know for us, when we were doing nightly baths last summer, it became less exciting for K. So she would tolerate a quick wash and soak on most days, and a longer play bath on the weekends.
Now that we're coming up on nightly baths with two...well, maybe I'll make it a race haha! See if K can wash herself before I wash the baby.

We do bath almost every night, and takes much shorter than 30 mins. I just fill the tub with some water, put her in, let her splash for a few mins, wipe her down, maybe wash hear if needed, and then we're out of the tub. Maybe 15 mins?

I let him get in and start the water, and give a 5 minute warning when I'm almost ready to get him out. "5/4/3/2/1 more minute! Okay, time to get out if you want time to read stories!" Bath time is usually 10-15 min, tops.

I put DD in the bath when I start to run the water so she thinks her bath lasts longer. I agree with @pumpkin pie that you don't need a full soap experience every single day. I usually alternate a real bath with hair washing one day and a bubble bath where I only really scrub her face. We also sometimes skip a bath on days when we go to the splash pad or the pool. We just do a rinse to get the chlorine off and call it good.

I'm in the same boat, whenever it's fall/winter/spring we only bath DD once a week, but in the summer we did twice a week, but now that she's older and can actually run around and play, I have a feeling we might need nightly too! It really only takes like 15 minutes...

I shower my kids because I refuse to do baths (my husband will do baths though). We have one of those shower head on a hose things though, so it's very quick. I can wash each of them, shampoo and all, in under a minute.
