Long baths for 8 month old

My husband get our child ready in the mornings, most day she has a bath for 30 min with our son. He loves it and so does the little one, they play with boats and have a great time. I’m worried about his skin drying out but he won’t listen to me, instead he says I’m being irrational as he has been doing this for months and the child’s skin in fine (though he did have slightly dry skin on his cheeks for a few weeks but that cleared up). He doesn’t wash him with soap every day, it’s more a playtime, but I just wonder if I’m being unreasonable. NHS says baths should be 5-15 min, interested to know what other do?

@McSpoot How many threads are you going to start about how awful your husband is with your son?

This.
By my count this is the third thread the OP has started along these lines. Also I swear the baby has been three different ages over the last few days 🤔

Edited

I’m not sure if the ages but we did add a second child this time.
