how often do you bath the kids?

[porridge]

Just curious as to how often people bath their kids/babies...?

:detective:

[poshBecks]

Cj everyday. Ella every 2nd day. When it gets warmer it will be everyday though.

[melfunction]

every night

[Briannabear]

Most days my DD gets a shower with me in the morning, and a bath at night. Some days we skip her shower though, and she only has the one bath.

[belinda]

everyday too

[InSaneOne]

i give beth a shower or bath at least once a day usually at night. sometimes she will also have a shower with me in the morning depending on when she has a nap.

[M O P]

The midwife in hosp told us not to bath baby everyday, just every couple. So that's what we do. If he's got excessive sick or poo on him though I'll pop him in the shower with Angus as he has a fairly cool shower- I don't.

[aardvark]

Since DS developed bad eczema, I have only been bathing him twice a week, and it seems to have helped a lot. When he does have a bath, I use only chamomile tea in the water, no soap or bath solution.

He gets topped and tailed each morning when he is not having a bath.

[nemosmum]

We bath O twice a day, it would be more if dh had his way his a clean freak and showers three to four times a day:yes:

[KarniF00l]

dion has a shower every morning and after school

jye and calista have a bath every night and..

dakota has a bath or shower with me or DH every second night.

[Mum&bubs]

Summer has a shower with me every morning & a bath at night.

When she was a newborn though it was every second day.

[Little Gorilla]

when bub was a newborn, only 2 or 3 times per week.

now he is 18 months, he has a bath everyday, now and again he won't have one or sometimes he will just jump in the shower with DP.

[the_queen]

I think Curtis has had about 5 or 6 baths in his lifetime. 3 of those have been because of massive poo explosions. He gets put in the shower with DH at least once a week.

Vallerie, now she's a school girl, has a bath straight after dinner every night. Plus a shower in the morning. :D

[Percy]

DS gets bathed every night. occasionally he will have shower with DS instead.

[MummyCharmzy]

boys have a bath every night
bella has one every second night
savannah has one every 2-3 days atm tho some days she will have 3 in one day... if she 'explodes'

[FourAngelKisses]

Every 2 days here unless they get dirty or sweaty.

Before we moved, we had to have a roster as we would have enough hot water for 2 showers and 1 load of dishes then run out. So when Matthew was born, we would have to boil the kettle for his bath. :eek: :eek: :eek:

[OceBel]

my dd gets showered every day, except the weekends if we are at home.
when she was a baby, i bathed her 2-3 daily.

[jessgray]

DS gets a bath every 2nd day, it used to be every night but it started to affect his eczema. every other day he doesnt have a bath he gets a sponge bath while watching the simpsons lol

[Oscar's mum]

Ozzy gets a bath or shower every day! Sometimes though if he is excessively dirty he gets 2 baths a day!

[almond eyes]

Samuel has 2 baths a day (one in the morning and another at night). I shampoo his hair in the morning. He loves his baths. :)

[~EmsMum~]

usually every second day for DD

[Ana Gram]

Since DS developed bad eczema, I have only been bathing him twice a week, and it seems to have helped a lot. When he does have a bath, I use only chamomile tea in the water, no soap or bath solution.




We have the opposite problem. If we don't give DD a bath everyday, her ezcema gets worse!

[~Emmylou~]

Every day.
She really needs it, she gets soooo grubby.

[Niki]

everyday:D

[Sarie]

Every day.
The boys usually play down stairs till lunch time come up have lunch and a bath before their sleep. Sometimes they get one a night also.

[EskimoMumma]

When DS is with me, we have a shower every night or morning and 1 bath in between (my god switching him to showers has saved my water bill though i tell you that!)

and DD every second or third day unless shes filthy. Shes not crawling yet (but has two teeth :D ) so she never gets real dirty anyway. Just her clothes :rolleyes:

[Lunar]

Every second day for both girls..
Tho sometimes Kailah has gone 3 days without a bath, only cos she's had a sleepy day and there hasn't been time for one...not waking a baby just for a bath! But when the weather warms up it is once or twice a day! Cools them off too.

[jaydensmum]

I usually bathe them every day but if i miss a day here and there i dont worry about it too much. Theres been times when Jayden didnt get a bath until the day after. If he's extremely dirty then he'll get a bath straight away. :D

[red crayon]

every night after dinner. it's so hot at the moment and spencer is such a little sweat monkey that he reallys needs a daily bath.

as a baby though every second or third night...much to my mum's horror.

[SassyMummy]

Every 2 days unless she's particularly dirty (which isn't very often).

It's too cold to do it every day...and she doesn't really get dirty anyway...so it doesn't matter IMO.

[Kooy]

Wow... I must admit I am surprised at the responses of how often people bath their kids! After considering it ... I can see why many people don't do it every day.

DS has a bath every night after dinner and before his night time bf. I guess this is just our routine and I never really thought about whether he needs a bath or not. Given our water situation in SE Qld at the mo, I should prob consider doing it less regularly! :idea:

[Pixie]

Every day it's part of wind down routine hot bath, massage, feed sleep!

[SamanthaJane]

For us, it will be every day.

[ziggie]

savannah has one every 2-3 days atm tho some days she will have 3 in one day... if she 'explodes'

Oh Golly!:eek: I haven't had any explosions yet :fingerscrossed: !!!!
Mitch has one every morning, except if I'm having a hectic day... then I'll wait till the next day.

[2 Cherubs]

Every day...
Its routine here....But the time I have finished buttoning his last button on the grow suit he's already trying to get to the boobie....
Dinner, alittle play, Bath , Boobie and Bed here...:)

[cheezelkat]

I bath Liam once every couple of days, although when my mum comes over she baths him everytime so most days he does get bathed.

I hate bathing him lol. He's just too slippery.

[kymmy]

My older kids have showers every day.
Once a week they jump in the bath together (all 3)
My baby has a shower with his Dad.

[tyler's mum]

every day when its hot twice a day, tyler loves her baths

[lukaelmo]

Once every two or three days... no soaps etc, just water. I have very dry skin and have passed it on to the dude...

He loves it though, in summer I will shower him more often.

But don't worry, I shower twice a day :laughing: .

[mrsd]

Gosh - we must be seriously unclean !

I'm too lazy to bath them every night - Tues / Thurs / Sat night (or Sun morning) all 6 are swished through in record time - I pride myself on being a fast bather - 30 mins usually for all 6 (sometimes 15mins if I'm really in a hurry but bub misses out).

When I've got a newborn I bath every night (approx 10pm) and I reckon they sleep better.

[Hokey Pokey]

Every morning.

[bronny-jane]

my dd's have 2 baths a day, only cause i jump in to ease my sore body, they get in too, and we play for 30 minutes in there morning and night:smiliedance:

[Harry&Max's Mummy]

ours used to be twice a day but now one a day unless they need 2

[pookiesossige]

Wow I had no idea that people bathe more then once a day! Doesn't your skin/your kid's skin dry out? I think it would here, we all have fairly sensitive/dry skin.
Ronan has either a bath or shower in the evening before bed and I bathe Ariene about twice a week as this was recommended for a newborn. More if there was a poo explosion...

[bronny-jane]

my skin doesnt dry out, i bathe in oils:D :D
although i have to get more:D
