Sorry weird thing to ask, but how often do you bath your kids?
I was talking to a very good friend tonight who's dd like mine has cp(and wears nappies) and she said she only baths her 2 or 3 times a week. I have always bathed mine every night except saturday. Starting to think I might be washing her awayMy nt ds also showers every day.

ds is one and i used to bath him every evening, but lately he has been asking to get out almost straight away, so have started doing it every other night instead.
unless he is particularly dirty

I bathe baby ( 13 months) every night, a quick dunk
dd1 is usually every other night and gets her hair washed once a week. She used to have bath every night and hair everyother night but I realiksed I was in the minority. Nighttimes are much smoother now that it's been cut back.
lol - washing her away!

Every other day, but I bath J in the morning because that gives us more time in the evening for other things. Also, I have my bath in the morning and I save the water for him, saves on resources! He's seven and doesn't get very mucky though.

Once or twice a week as he totally and utterly hates baths, so i have to get in with him, and as he has a special bath seat from OT, it can get quite cramped and uncomfortable!!!

Thank god for babywipes and top to toe washing!!!!!!!

2-3 times a week. I still have nightmares about ds1's bath-time rituals as a toddler when it used to take 1.5hrs each time. Ds1 and ds2 like having a bath together. Ds2 is grubbier because he rarely wears clothes at home.

3 - 4 times a week. With a good wipe down the other nights! In the summer its everyday, I have never known a child so filth attracting as ds2 .
