to only bath my baby once a week?

[BonjourIvresse]

According to my dear mother I am, I "ought" to bathe him more than once a week. If he's dirty or had sun cream on or something I bathe him more than that. I give him a top and tail wash with a flannel once a day, and of course a wipe down either end when its dirty. He's 6 months. I used to give his sister a bath every night at the same age and she had excema. My baby has lovely skin with no excema at all. Its not like he smells or anything

YANBU. My DD gets a bath every night but thi sis to help settle her for bed.She is 6 months but when she gets a bit bigger I will only do it Twice a week.

As long as you topand tail its fine.

I'm getting concerned now as I bath both mine every night. They seem to love splashing together, pouring water, singing duck songs. (well DD1 does, DD2 sits and kicks her legs and laughs). They play together so sweetly and means I can have a sit down on the bathroom floor and know they won't get into mischief. The last hour before pjs and milk seems to take forever so a bath passes the time, and DD1 asks to go in.

Should I rethink for their skin? Neither have excema, but both have have/had cradle cap.

No you shouldn't rethink for their skin, not if it's ok.
