Right now we bathe LO 2x a week, he's 3.5 weeks old.
When did you increase the frequency?

We just started at about 5.5 weeks. We went from twice a week to every three days.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

I think around 6 weeks we started daily or every other day since she spits up so much and loves them now.

We did every 3 days until about 2 months, and then every other day until 3 months and then we switched to daily.

It was every other day from the time her stump fell off until 11 months when it switched to nightly baths.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Once her belly button healed we gave her a bath every night, its part of her bedtime routine

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.

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.

From the time her stump fell off until 2 months we did 2-3 per week & a morning wipe down on the other days. 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.
