Topic: how often do you bath your baby Posted: 26 May 2008 at 4:00pm |
I probably should give Megan a bath more often I probably give her one about once a week.
she does have a bath seat but she tends to lean forward in it.
I cant get in the bath with her as it is just a shub so no room for the both of us. and she is too heavy for me to hold.

could you maybe shower with her? i bath with Eden but i have a good sized bath, when she had dihorea i had her in the baby bath tho, i wasnt keen on her pooping in the bath!
i bath with Eden about every 2nd night, its part of her evening routine and she knows its bath, a story and bottle and bed!

We bath Luke pretty much every night, it is his time with daddy usually. He is also a sweater and starting to get grubby with dribbling and eating, so i think he needs it.

Cooper has a bath every night.
Hint: Put water in the big bath, just enough to say reach her ears.. then lay her down in it. She isn't going to move anywhere, if anything she's going to do big splashes. Then once she is more confident sitting up straight you can put more water in and she can sit and splash.

Spencer has a bath every 2-3 nights but sometimes there is longer between depending how tired he is, some nights its just best not to do it.
Could you put the bath seat in the bottom of the shower and then take her in with you?

I give Lauren a bath every single night without fail. Reason being is firstly, she loves her bath so why deprive her of something she absolutely loves, secondly she actually gets dirty with all these new foods she is trying out for the first time, more gets in her hair, arms and cothes than in her mouth some days and thirdly it is a great relaxer for bedtime and is a part of our evening "routine".
She has always been bathed every day since day one! I either bath her, bath with her or shower her with me and I do it all on my own as DH works late into the evenings!

You just hold onto them for dear life in the shower, they are slippery little eels!!
Lauren loves the shower and doesn't mind her head going under at all either!

Daniel has a bath every single night always. He loves it so much, its an integral part of his bedtime routine. If we have been out and he's really tired we just give him a 5 min shower. The hot water just calms him and readys him for bed. Plus with all the food that gets all over him and if hes been out exploring he really needs cleaning well.

once a week if not less here.
this morning she had a shower with her daddy. And they dont get slippery if you dont use soap...
i remember showering the boys on my own. used to undress them and put them in the bouncer in their towel in the bathroom, then i would jump in and wash myself and adjust the temp for bub. easy peasy.

We bath Calais every couple of days. Either in the bath with Daddy or my other two or occasionally in the shower with me. She loves water but hates getting out.

We have always bathed Alyssa every night from about 6 months as it's just part of her routine. I think I'm going to buy a tummy tub for this next baby though cause it seems like it will be so much easier to bathe them when they're little compared to our normal baby bath.

Every night here too - its part of Bella's night time routine. And I have to bath her all by myself because DH works nights, but she loves her bath and she does get really messy during the day! lol

We bath Maddi 2-3 times a week. I still havent figured out how to do it on my own. We only have a small baby bath and while I am getting Maddi out, geting her dry and warmed up, My 2 year old tries to get in fully clothed and ends up overflowing the bath, flodding the bathroom
I have just started Showering with her which she loves but I have to do it when DH is around before he goes to work and he gets her in and out for me.

One tip I heard for the shower is to get some cotton gloves (you can get them at $2 shop) and they make baby less slippery.

It's random here, sometimes they have a bath every day, sometimes up to every third day depending on how I'm feeling and who's here to help with the dressing etc. Gremlins hate being in the bath with me (not that there's much room for that these days) but Maya always loved it. I never showered any of them, it seems like harder work!
When they were tiny they got bathed less often as I needed someone else to help me so it was sometimes up to once a week. Now I *can* bath them on my own, but I prefer to do it when Willie is here to dress them coz they are wriggly and I am fat and pregnant.
