On average, how often do you bathe your infant / toddler?

Question

I bathe my 1 year old every other day so his skin doesn't get too dry.

Answer

When I bathed him everyday, he got horrible eczema. Babies skin isn’t meant to be bathed everyday. They don’t have oily skin, don’t get BO, etc. so there is really no need to bathe them unless they are actually dirty. I only bathe him now like twice per week (or as needed obviously) and he has no more skin issues. It doesn’t make sense to bathe everyday and take alway the natural moisture then have to lotion and put back synthetic moisture. Their skin wasn’t designed for that

Answer

My sons 13 months. He gets a bath everyday since he was about 7 months old. We put lotion on him. He never has a dry skin issue. He loves bath time, and it’s part of his bedtime routine.

We bathe everyday. My friend doesn’t make her kids bathe but maybe once a week. I have 3 boys that get covered in mud almost everyday. It’s really not optional. They’re nasty😷

My 12 week old has got dry skin now, doctor recommended we bath her less, so we’re going from every other day to more like once a week. She loves a bath too 😣

Answer

I bathe my 1 year old every night. It’s part of our routine.

Answer

Every other day unless there is a blow out or something like that then she gets a bath a day early

Answer

I bathe my kids as needed, rarely is it daily. My oldest is every 2-4 days depending on how dirty she gets and the baby maybe once a week (I give her wipe downs daily).

Answer

Every three days. LO has eczema and it's not good for her skin to do it more often.
