Bath time

How often are you bathing your LO’s? I have a toddler as well so have found myself bathing them every night purely because it’s the only time of the day they are both happy at the same time 🤣 but I’m worried on what this will do to their skin! Does anyone else bath theirs every night?

Gripe water

How often do people give their babies gripe water and how do you administer it? I’ve seen people put it in teats. My little one is 5 weeks old and is suffering with gas/colic.
