I normally wash them let them have a play. When they get pruny then i usually get them out. Usually about 10-15 mins. Sometimes I just give em a quick one, wash em down get em out.
As long as he wants to stay in it! If he's enjoying it, and there is nothing else urgent to be done, then we stay and play. We've always tried to encourage water play as a good thing - early preparation for swimming classes, hopefully less fear of water.
Besides, the longer they stay in, the cleaner they get! :D

It really depends on what the sitution is, if he is in a bad mood and i am hoping to put him in a better mood by giving him a bath, i will let him go until he is ready to get out. Sometimes its a 5min bath, sometimes it could be a half an hour bath.
He loves his bath, as he doesnt get them very often, he likes his showers aswell, and its alot easier to get two ready in one shower, lol!

I won't bath Dakota for any longer than 5 minutes because i don't want her catching a cold. So it's a quick wash then a quick play and out.
With the older kids however long they want.. usually 20-30 then the water gets cold.
During winter they have shorter baths then they do in Summer. I just don't want them catching a cold :no:

About 10 mins, but it depends if he is grumpy then a quick wash and out we get.
DS usually has a 10 - 15 minute bath

Summer usually has about a 15minute bath. I wash her first then let her play but if I am in the bath with her we like to stay in there for about half an hour when the water starts to get cold :laughing:

Julia gets about 15 minutes, Rachel has as long as she wants unless it's getting REALLY late (usualy goes about 30 minutes or so)
They don't have a bath every day though, so it's a bit of a treat, especially for Rachel
Generally Bailey has about a 10 minute bath but it really depends on the situation and like KarniF00l says it depends on the weather- if its cold then a short bath it is:yes:
