Is bath 2x a week ok for my kids?

Question

I have a 10m and 3yr... They're hardly messy kids....

What do you do? 
Also, DON'T JUDGE... This is genuine ?.

Answer

My kids are 7 and 3 years old and they get a bath every other day and my 10 month old gets one every two days.

Answer

Honestly, same for us. I have a 17 month old. I always thought all kids would love bath time. Not her. She hates getting her head wet so the whole experience ends up being difficult after washing her hair. Also, she has really sensitive skin so I’ve found that less baths means less skin dryness/redness. Of course, if she has gotten really dirty at the park, really sweaty, had a major diaper blowout, or has been covered with sunscreen/bug spray we give her a bath before bed. But she’s not a very messy kid either, and we live in the city so her contact with actual dirt is limited, so those situations don’t happen often.

Answer

I have an 11yr, 9 yr, 1yr and I'm pregnant. I make the older ones shower sometimes twice a day because they are always dirty from school, sports and playing outside. We're ethnic though so we actually only wash hair every 2 weeks, they wear braids. My 1yr old though she definitely takes a bath everyday. Its relaxing to her and she gets dirty walking around all day long and playing with the dogs and stuff! For dry skin, I use oils and lotions on them and they are just fine

Answer

We bathe our nearly 3 year old every other nite, unless he gets super messy/sweaty/poopy.

Answer

I bathe my son 2x a week. He's typically not dirty either and if he does need another bath then I give one. Bathing too much can dry out skin and cause more irritations. It's healthy to let your skin breath in the natural oils.

I only bathe my 2 year old 2-3 times a week because she has eczema and the less the better for her.. she also has extremely curly/dry hair so i use a cowash instead of regular shampoo

Answer

I babysat a 2 yr old years ago whose mom only bathed him a few times a week. He never smelled nor was he dirty. I didnt see anything wrong 🤷‍♀️

Answer

10m: 2x/week is probably about what we did at that age. Just not getting that grimy on a daily basis. (As a <6m baby, we only washed him about 1x/wk.)
3y: We pretty much HAVE to wash my 2.5y son daily because he's outside with sunscreen on or swimming or playing in the dirt. If your son isn't doing that stuff maybe it's fine, but sunscreen especially I wouldn't leave on for days personally.
