I think DH and I share equal duty of bath time. She only takes a bath every other night so about twice a week I do it and about twice a week he does it. It works out well for us! Tonight is his night

DH! Sometimes he even jumps in with her. Its his favorite time of the day. I always hear them splashing and laughing in there. They even made up their own game of yelling "Mama" in increasingly loud voices until I sneak in and say hi!

DH. Its his special time with her. I run the bath, get her sleep sack and pjs ready, warm the towel and then he passes her to me (into the towel) so I guess you could say we do it together but actual splash time belongs to DH.

It usually always ends up being DH. I think he enjoys taking care of that aspect of DS's care.

I do most of the time, but on nights when I'm tired or don't feel good Dad takes care of it.

Usually me, but when DH is in town he does bathtime!

We ditched the baby bath somewhere around 8 weeks cause it was killing our knees. I bring her in the tub with me during the week, and we take family showers on the weekends.

Almost always me, unless D manages to get out of work earlier. And we are both in their on the weekends.

Me. He gets home too late and is a little scared to do it on his own. He will come and hang out if he's home but I do the work.

Always me! I always ask/tell DH to, and he's like no. You do it. Sigh.

If DH is home, he does. When I was nursing, it was his way of helping with bedtime. Now it is their Daddy daughter time. I think she has more fun when he does it. Which is fine by me.

@Alivoo01: same!
sometimes DH will fill the tub for her and get her started but he would totally prefer to do dishes (by hand, no dishwasher!) and clean up after dinner than give her a bath. I don't get it.

Dh has done every single one! Even in the hospital while I was in the shower

DH always does baths. He loves the alone time with DS and I love the personal alone time after watching him all day.

Me! I do bath and PJs and he does prayers, songs and rocking. I also do the baby's baths.

We split it 50.50, unless i'm working out and then he does it while I do that and I do book/bed.

DH has always handled baths (unless he's working late). I've probably only given her a handful of baths in her life! He enjoys the bonding time, and she has more fun with him. I don't enjoy giving baths, so it works out.

I'm going to say me.
DH works an afternoon shift often so I usually do it completely alone. If he's home he'll sometimes pop in and play after I've stated, but hands it back to me when it's time to actually wash anything and take her out and then clean it up.. He's scared to do it himself.

We trade off. She's sitting up well enough that we can plop her in the adult tub and let her splash around and have fun

almost always me because i get home first. if we're both there, i wash, and he towels LO off, puts on moisturizer and pj's.

We both do. We do baths every other night in the winter, every night in the summer (dirty and gross from playing outside). We both sit in there with her while she plays and then we take turns doing the washing.

I give almost all the baths. And my husband only gives them if I ask him too. He's happy to do it and loves it (at least I think!) but I have to ask him. I think he's nervous about it as some mentioned above. Maybe that's why? But he doesn't say he is, so who knows.
