Age little girls should stop bathing with their Dads

Hi all,
this is a question I find challenging to ask. Since birth my baby bathed with her Dad. He and I separated around her being 8m. He continued to bath with her (at his)- she is now nearly 3.
I personally find this a bit weird. I have zero concern about anything dodgy- I just think at 3y it sends the wrong message about being comfortable nude with men:

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts/ what is an age appropriate for it to continue to. He also still lets him stay in his bed, despite my hard sleep routine which created a sage private space for my daughter to sleep.

many thanks in advance

Everyone has different opinions, but my personal opinion is there is nothing wrong with it. The only reason to find it weird is the consideration of there being something sexual about being naked around your children, which is obviously not the case. To me it's normal and natural and I would continue as long as my children were happy with it or they were getting quite a bit bigger and older and needed more space in the bath on their own.
For the sleep thing, again to me nothing wrong with co sleeping at any age. As you're separated and your daughter spends time at each of your homes I think it's reasonable for each parent to do what they prefer when the child is at their home.
