Can bath time for babies make them sick?

Question

I’m talking about 1-3 times weekly baths, in a warm house with warm water, and keeping them bundled straight after.
Apparently many ppl in my family think giving baths to babies or small kids will make them sick so they suggest giving baths once every few weeks (while just wiping their bodies in between). But I know people who will bathe their kids daily as a routine. What does everyone else think?

Answer

I bathed my children every day, they loved it. It was relaxing and helped them sleep. Now that they are older, they still want to shower daily. 
It’s a personal choice 🤷🏻‍♀️ nothing wrong with being clean💦💦💦🛁🙂

Answer

I wash my baby 2 times a week with soap, but we take a water bath every single day. The warm water relaxes him for bedtime. 
He's almost 1 and had one cold after I had one. 
It has nothing to do with baths.

Answer

My pediatrician told me to bathe her 1-3 times a week.... I give her a bath every 3rd day. Granted it’s 90 degrees where I live, but still, warm but not hot water, and she gets bundled in a towel after to dry off and if she’s feeling cold I’ll wrap her in a thin blanket. She’s doing just fine and hasn’t gotten sick sooooo

Answer

The only reason not to give frequent baths would be if they have sensitive skin. We bathed our daughter every day from birth as it’s was part of our bedtime routine. 
It doesn’t make them sick 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

I don't know about making them sick, but if your kid has sensitive skin,  it can really make the eczema bad.
My poor daughter has eczema, and anything more than a weekly bath and immediately lotioning up afterward winds up with her skin breaking out in awful rash. 
The worst part is she LOVES THE TUB. She wants to be in the water all the time.

Answer

😊 Every other day for my 4 month old 🛁 and for my 9 year old it's everyday 😀

Answer

this sounds like my family. They also think being outside in the cold makes you sick, not the virus or bacteria it self. No your baby won’t get sick from a bath unless your bathing her in a contaminated bath.
