Do you bath your kids everyday?

[Nastynigel]

How often do your children have a bath -
aged 7 and 9.

Surely it cannot be everyday?? Or am I being thick.

Every other day here unless they've done something to get particularly dirty or smelly. We do a sink wash on non bath days mine are 4 and 6.

Shower every night.

We keep to the same schedule as ourselves - shower daily with some occasional gaps if there was no vigorous activity (wash the "strategic" areas with a cloth). Bath is optional once a week.
I think a daily bath is quite extravagant nowadays.

My 8 year old has a bath every evening, aside from the day he has swimming lessons and then it's a shower at swimming instead. We don't wash his hair everyday though.

Shower every night

you're damaging their skin if you bath/ shower every day.

Bath 2/3 times a week for small children. Eldest is a teen so he has daily morning shower.

I try too but if not I only miss 1 night a week or 2 but she will have a bath that next morning

Mine shower every morning, mostly a quick "wash the important bits"

Every second or third day. Our 7 yo gets a flare up of eczema if we do every day. Gets basic wash on in between days

Most days. Once or twice a fortnight we may let it slide, if they aren't especially grubby, or they are overtired, sick etc.

Twice a week

Mine are teens now but up to around age 7 maybe they were bathed every night. It was just part of the evening routine, helped them to settle for the night etc (plus with playing outside a lot they were often grubby!)

From about 7 years on they moved to having a quick shower every night.

Now they're teens they shower whenever they want but mostly first thing in the morning.

4 and 6yos have a bath 2-3 times a week. Wash every day obviously.

It cannot be good for anyone's skin to be showering every single day surely?

So don't bath or shower them every day if this is what you believe.

Its not

Bath once or twice a week and a shower every other day

Bath or shower every day. No exceptions. For use and for our son. Hair washed every 2/3 days.

Once a week

It's just always been a part of the bedtime routine for us (dinner bath book bed). If my child had skin problems I'd look into how to manage a skin condition and bath less if needed, but he doesn't.

9 year old has a quick shower almost every day. Perhaps skips a day occasionally at the weekend. Lots of 9 year olds already have stinky pits!

Wtf is the point of this message? People will bath their children how often THEY choose.

I had a bath every day as a child, and shower every day as an adult, and my skin is still going perfectly strong for goodness sake.

No I think it damages their skin and hair. My DD8 has a bath or shower every 2/3 days unless she's done something like swimming etc. This will probably change when she's a teen

Every day from birth. Tbh it's never occurred to me not to. That's how I was raised so know no different. Only time I'd skip is if coming home late and they fell asleep in the car then I wouldn't wake them to shower but just carry up to bed.
