How often do you bath your toddler DC?

[nespressowoo]

DS is nearly 3. He has a bath every night. DH wants to make it every other - which I don't mind but think after nursery he should have one which would mean two in a row.

What do you do?

We bath the kids every 2/3 nights, unless they're full of sand, sunscreen, muck, etc.

Every other depending on what she’s been doing/is visibly dirty but not every day she’s at nursery

We used to do every night because it just became a part of their bedtime routine.
They are 4 and almost 3 now, and get bathed every other day unless they are particularly dirty. Hair gets a good scrub a couple of times a week

Mine are bathed every night - I think it helps with the bedtime routine (temp increases in the bath then drops when then get out which is supposed to help sleep). Plus they always leave a tide mark so I think it’s probably not a bad thing.

We don’t really soap them though, other than hands and bottoms. Sometimes we use a bit of bubblewash.

Same here... sometimes longer 🤷‍♀️

Generally every other night but over summer it was every night when they were covered in suncream etc.

Daily for us.
He’s far too disgusting and covered in god knows what to go longer 😂
Fortunately he loves water so it isn’t an issue

Every night because, frankly, I was bored to tears and it was something to do.

Every other day unless particularly dirty. Nursery days may be more likely to be dirtier but I wouldn't bath them especially on that day if they didnt need it.

Every night, always, toddlers are pretty mucky people. Plus it was part of the settling down for the night routine and I sleep better after a bath so I guess they would too.

Every 3 night unless they are super dirty

This. Every day. He's one of those sticky, sweaty, food wearing almost three year olds.

I have a 3 year old and it's about twice a week unless specifically necessary

Bathing to much is not good.

Every night because it’s part of his routine

Every other night, depending on dirt levels. Was more often in summer as she refused to wear a hat so nursery used to cover her hair in suncream xD

2 & 4 year old everynight because they are dirty, feral beasts! Everyday I pick 4y up from nursery he is in the garden digging in the mud, it was raining today so he was a delightful mess!

2/3 times a week unless actually dirty beyond what a face cloth can fix

Every night during the summer and about five times a week in winter. Every other night during winter is fine imo but my kids just love a bath!

Every night. Its part of their routine, they run round and get sweaty, messy, covered in food/felt tip/mud/etc. every day and I know personally I feel a bit yuck if I don't shower/bath everyday and I wouldn't want my kids to feel like that

First dc, every night until she was 3. Was part of her bedtime routine.
Now 6 year old every 2/3 night and same with toddler.
Toddler does get scruffy but I honestly don’t have enough hours in the day to bath every night! It’s not a ten min job as she hates getting out so from start to finish it takes about 40 mins

Thanks, all! He's actually not bad after nursery today so will give not bathing a whirl...
