"how often are you bathing your infant?"

Rita M. - posted on 11/10/2010

since its so hot where i live (Puerto RIco) i give her a bath 3 times a day, morning, evenings and before bed. she is just 1 month but with the heat she can get rather stinky, since we're getting semi sort of close to december it's getting a "little" breezier, so maybe might be in the mornings and before bed.

I bath my infant everyday before bed, it helps with preventing diaper rash.

My 13 month old manages to get a lot of food in her hair so she needs a bath every night. Plus its part of her bedtime routine that helps her wind down.

But when she was a newborn we did every other day.

Every day...

Wow, maybe it is b/c my son was a relatively light pooper, but I didn't bathe him daily or even every other day as an infant. How could an infant possibly need so much bathing otherwise? I didn't want to take the chance of drying out his skin, even with lotion. Obviously, as a toddler, he requires quite a bit more bathing!

Once a day, sometimes twice.

should only bath your baby about every other to every third day they don't need it too much I am talking about a newborn. of course as they get older they need it more often.

I always bathed my son every day, from the time we left the hospital. I would use moisturizing cream after so his skin didn't dry out, and I found it really helped with the bedtime routine.

I have a 7 week old and am bathing him every other day, but I imagine more often when he gets older.

my daughter is 14 months and we do baths every other night before bed. if she gets into something, smashes food all over in her hair, or sweats a lot b/c of heat, then we'll do one that day regardless, but otherwise, every other works just fine.

shooting for 4x/week - but I usually hit 3 (every other day)

I bath him every other day before bedtime, until he starts to crawl. Then I'll do every night before bedtime as part of his routine...

For me it depends mainly on age and weather conditions -eg the older they get/ the hotter it is then daily or twice daily.

It kinda depends. Anytime they get dirty or icky. About everyother day is ok for a bit until they start to crawl around then maybe at least a sponge bath every night before bed.
