Do you bath EVERY night? - Page 2

Most nights. Bath time has been and still is LO's favourite time of day. Ideally I need to convert the whole room into a wet room because the splashing is insane!

Usually yes,we bath every night as I have found a strong routine helps DD1 settle for the night(she is 2 1/2 now). Whilst she is in the bath I dip my newborn in and wash hair every other night.
Last night however we were running very late so we did top n tail rather than bath!

yes but as others have said, not because he needs it< just because he knows the routine. if he is too tired and is having a late bedtime then i leave it. he loves baths though!

My LO is 7 1/2 weeks and we, as first time parents, were too nervous for a few weeks -- but now, it's twice a week -- he hates it! However, he liked the ducky in the baby bath (he's started reaching for and grasping for toys, so that distracted him while daddy washed him) and he loved the massage with moisturiser afterwards -- wondering if the warmer weather this week might make him more relaxed for Wednesday's bath????

ps. we did a washcloth on his face, etc., every night (tip and tail, I think it's called, or top and tail?)!

At the moment with LO only being 5 weeks old I bath her every other night sometimes every 2 as we have no 'set' bedtime routine yet - she has colic and reflux and so night times are a mare! But it depends...like today has been hot and sweaty so I bathed her, cream on so she's all refreshed and feels clean lol

I was bathing him every other night but we have recently started BLW so it's needed every night at the moment

Every other night unless any toilet emergencies call for an extra clean up!!

top and tail, yeah. jesse hated the bath too at first. your LO will start to love it soon, im sure

Nope every 2-3 days. LO has extremely dry skin that seems to get worse when we bathe him frequently. If he has a really yukky diaper or throws up then I do it anyway and slather him with lotion even more than I already do.
