Bath time

How often are we bathing our babies? My boy is now 7 weeks, and currently has two baths a week. However, he LOVES them and they seem to chill him out for the evening, so I’m wondering when I can increase them?

We are doing every 2nd or 3rd night. If his skin isn’t reacting badly, then I don’t see the problem increasing 😊

We do every night, little boy is 7 weeks, I know you shouldn’t but it’s gotten him into such a lovely bedtime routine and we really notice the difference when we don’t bath him! Sometimes even 5 minutes with no products!

About every 3 days, i just take him in the bath with me

Usually every other day, she absolutely lovessss the bath!

Everyday with just water. My girl is nearly 7 weeks. The only time we skip it is if we’ve missed her awake window for whatever reason 😅

We have only done once a week so far at 7 weeks because although she enjoys being in the bath, she gets so distressed afterwards when she comes out and we’re drying and dressing her(guessing she’s cold maybe?). I get so stressed bathing her because I know she will be in a state afterwards and I have to calm her! We tried bathing as a bedtime routine and stopped because it just got her worked up :(

Slightly related question, do you guys use products for the bath or just water? I was given lots of johnsons but have been told they are really bad and potentially cancerous. I have just been bathing my girl every now and then with just water so far

@Sara our little boys the same! We tried hair drying him (from a safe distance on a safe temperature) and he LOVES it, dries him so much quicker and keeps him warm x

@Paula we use Aveeno or Nala’s baby but not in every bath!

@Paula we’ve just started with products and use Aveeno and last night for the first time used a bit of coconut oil after x
