When do you think you'll stop the everyday baths?
in Baby
I don't really remember having baths every day when i was younger - we had a good wash, but not a full on bath and scrub.
Has the times changed? Should we bathe our LOs every day regardless? Personally i enjoy the routine of harry's bathtime and from the water splashing and mess everywhere, i think he enjoys it too lol.
How old should they be having baths every day until? At what age do you not insist on it?
It really isn't too relevent yet but a mate of mine has 4 boys under 10 and they all bath once or twice a week if she can, but another mate has two kids ages 7 and 9 and religeously gets them to have a bath everyday.

i always bathed or showered everyday and will expect brooke to do the same as she gets older. a bath/shower either every morning or evening thats up to her. evening is easier for us at the moment!
i dont see it nessacary to bath a baby everyday i have just managed to get my sis out of that habit they dont get that dirty. maybe at 9 10 months when they are doing messy play?!
sorry not been muh help lol! xx

occasionally at weekend, or over the school hols, i dont bath them one day, but i would never miss 2 days!
issy usually always goes in with them (except in the morning unless there has been a stinky nappy issue!)
tbh, i think "play baths" give them confidence in the water for when they go swimming, as they are used to the splashing, etc
I think from 6 months plus i will start giving Molly one every day. Don't get me wrong, if she is sick all over herself or poo everywhere i will give her a bath.

Might i just add that Molly gets a top and tail at least once a day and a million hand wipes cos she sucks them all day! x
Unless they need it at other times like if they have been out playing in the garden as when they play outside they actualy roll in the mud lol, and also after doing things like painting.
Lillith only gets bathed 2-3 times a week unless she's sick everywhere.
Like Zoey I was told bathing a baby daily washes the natural oils from their skin. I'm sure when she starts eating solids i may need to bath her more!! lol

Like the last two post my lo used to have excema although her skin is still dry its much better with less frequent baths- she gets 2 / 3 baths a week and topped and tailed through the day as need arises x
He does have mild eczema and oilatum in the bath and I don't think it makes any difference having the bath every day cause its improved a lot from when he was small.
Im 35 and clearly remember having a bath on a sunday and having my nails cut!!! Sign of the times i reckon.
Gabe won't be having a bath every day unless he gets dirty enough to or starts puberty - whichever happens first!
He loves his bath time and will splash and play the whole time, but is at the age where we can shower him as well so if need be in the mornings (after a nappy accident...) he can be cleaned off properly too.
we were told when they are little they dont need a bath every day but when older it helps as part of their routine to have one on a regular basis and doesnt do any harm to their skin.
