Bath time ?

Question

Those of you mommas who have their babies on bedtime routines that include bath time - are you bathing your baby every night? 
Im having trouble with my daughter sleeping longer stretches through the night & I noticed she  sleeps better after a bath. 
I’ve read through tips on here where a lot of you are bathing baby as part of your nightly routine & I was under the impression that we shouldn’t be bathing them every day? 
If bathing them is part of your routine, are you bathing them everyday ?? If not - what are you doing in place of bathtime ?

Answer

I recently started every night to get into a routine . I rarely use soap though, maybe every 2-3 days. It’s more of a let’s relax with warm water for a few minutes.  She loves it.  She’s almost 7w.  She does a short stretch 7-9/10 then longer stretch til 3ish and then sleeps again til 7/8.

Answer

We bathe our little one every other night.  Our routine consists of playing music (baby Mozart), having him soak in the tub with lavender wash.  Then I give him a massage with lavender lotion (all Avenno Baby brand).  We get him cozy in his sleeper / swaddle / sleep sack (depends on the night and temperature).  I will then nurse him in a dark and quiet room and he falls asleep within 10-20 minutes.  Nights we do not have a bath, I just start with the massage.  We have talked about including a story and prayer, too... we just will need to start the process earlier as he is so sleepy by 9pm.

Answer

I like to read him 3 books a night before bedtime after our last feeding for the day. If I bathe him I’ll do it before his last feeding of the day.

Answer

For all three of my kids I started a bedtime routine around 2 weeks of age that includes a bath every Nighy. But, I only use soap a couple times a week and limit it to 10 minutes so as not to dry their skin. The warm water helps cue them that sleep time is soon, and we use the time as ‘tender time’ to sing to baby etc. After bath is a fresh outfit, snuggles, a feed, and lights out.

Answer

I bathe baby every night but also do not use soap. I do put lotion on maybe once a week so her skin doesn’t dry out. She is 7 weeks and she averages 7 hours straight followed by a 2-4 hour stretch after a quick change and feed.
