Kids bathing together?

Hello, just wondered if people have both boys and girls, at what age did they stop putting them in the bath together? ds nearly 6 and dd just 4 have always bathed together but I'm wondering if they are starting to get a bit old for it? They enjoy having baths and play together but there has definitely been a lot more discussion of their bits lately! In as way this is good because it means they understand differences and are comfortable with it, but how old is too old?! It is just so much easier to pop them in together still!
Any advice appreciated! Thanks Smile

Do you mind me asking what reason the guidelines give for discouraging/not allowing baths together after the age of 5 "cherrypie"?

ArtandCo. You're probably right. I've been here so long now, I keep thinking I'm English but I've probably mutated into some hideous hybrid, worst of both sides of the Atlantic.

I do remember as a kid going to places like Denmark and France where nudity was normal on the beach for the under 12s. It was the 1970s but you'd have never seen that in the US. The beaches would be closed down.

Sorry to be so out of touch.
