Bath

How often are you bathing your baby? We are bathing our 4m every 2/3 day do you think that is right. Other day someone was horrified we don't do it every night.

We do every night but only use soap etc every other night. She loves a bath and always chills her out, especially if she is being fussy!

I do every night but that’s purely because my lo won’t sleep well if he doesn’t as it’s in his routine but I know a lot of mums that either do every other night and sometimes even skip days and just do mini washes. You’re doing great and everyone parents differently. Nothing wrong with not bathing every night, some people just have their preferences x

2/3 times a week is fine! Just clean face, neck, privates, hands daily with a damp washcloth. I also love using Mustela water. I will soon start to do daily baths as part of her bedtime routine, but just won’t use soap every day.

I do it every 2-3 days and then a strip wash usually every night if not bath night - I was always told not to bath them every night because their skins too sensitive for it!

I do every night because she absolutely loves it! It’s just about what works for you ☺️

2 times a week. They really don’t need a bath every night

yes I always do wash hands face and private if not having a bath. I was told by health vistor not every day as can dry their skin out

We always did it every night x

Every night as a bed time routine. Unless I am really tired.

Twice a week usually, once she has a solid bedtime routine we’ll probably do every night with my toddler but for now it’s just as and when x

I do every night as part of bed time routine. My 2 year old has a bath so my little boy goes in with her too.

2-3 times a week usually xx

My little one absolutely HATES being bathed and it causes so much stress for everyone, so currently doing it as little as possible, usually only every 3-4 days. He does get a face/neck and bum wipe with plain water every day though.

I do it every night because I found, with my first, it’s very helpful in terms of a wind down routine before bed and she loves it. Wash her in breast milk soap. Don’t think there is a right or wrong though, whatever works for you and the individual baby

2-3 times a week unless the poo is super mucky!!
