Do you give your baby a bath every day?

Question

I see a lot of people post that their nighttime routine is to give baby a bath, but I was always told not to because it dries out their skin. I give him a bath every 3 days and the days between I use a bath wipe.

Answer

I literally have to every day to clean my daughters neck folds that get milk trapped all in them 🤣 plus i feel like even though i clean her bottom well after she poops and pees 1000x a day, it prob still feels good to get rinsed with soap and water. Shes a huge baby though. Her skins fine, i use lotion as well. She enjoys her nightly bath. I do use bibs and burp rags under her chin while shes eating but that milk just gets in her neck folds! She eats a LOT. I have to wash and powder her neck every night 🤣poor thing. Shes 6wks

Answer

My daughter gets bathed about once a week but we wipe her face and eyes everyday and obviously her bottom is cleaned about 35,000 times a day with each diaper.

Answer

Once a week. My son hates baths and his skin is really dry. When we bathe him it gets worse.

Answer

I’m gonna be the odd man out and say i rarely bathe my baby. She’s actually only ever had one bath, and she’s 4 weeks old today. Her skin is amazingly soft and everyone comments on how good she smells. I haven’t had to worry about milk getting in her neck folds yet, though.

Answer

We only do a bath every few days.  I’m afraid to dry out her skin.

Answer

Once or twice a week. Her skin gets too dry to do more. The only time she gets more is if spit up gets in her hair. Otherwise, I wipe her down between baths.

Answer

Top and tail every morning and night and bath every other day I'd love to bath him every day as it settles him he loves his bath but hes got dry skin so no go

Answer

Every single day over here! I use mittens & socks on her hands to stop her from scratching her face so her hands will get sweaty & stinky, plus all the time they poop/pee on themselves I say they need to & all the milk that falls under their chins & on their necks.. I can’t stand a “dirty” baby so I bathe mine everyday.

Answer

We bathe every other day... in between i wash her down ... I have a reflux baby so cleaning under her neck and sometimes even her hair I have to do every day. .

Answer

We do every three days too. His skin is too sensitive and soft imo, we will do more frequently when he is a couple of months old.
