sorry but ds's would stink if they didnt have one at least every other day.
usually every day

spidermama · 22/09/2005 19:23

Every other night. Slightly less in the holidays. Or when they smell/are covered in mud or paint.
I only use soap once a week though and I only wash their hair once a week.

Every other day suits my liitle demon just fine but he does get stripped down every night and washed down with the flannel coz he comes back from nursery with paint halfway up his arma every day!

ds's are nearly 5 and 7. Birthday next week!
They dont seem to be able to get through the day wothout grubby knees, dirty finger nails and general boy sweat. Bllleeuurrghh

Mytwopenceworth · 22/09/2005 19:28

5 & 6 and could get unrecognisably filthy standing stock still in an unfurnished, sterile, whitewashed room!

biglips · 22/09/2005 19:29

baba who is 11 months have twice a week as one at home and one at the baths when we finished swimming... otherwise if she have a bad nappy rash or very soiled nappy, ill bath her before she goes to bed

Hulababy · 22/09/2005 19:30

DD is 3.5yo now and has a bath about 3 times a week, washing her hair each time. When she was tiny it was every night, and it has got less with the years. I am much more lax now and have to remind orsilves to do it. Mind you, she does tend to have a shower instead too, which is easier.

troutpout · 22/09/2005 19:32

Bath or shower every night except fridays

Donbean · 22/09/2005 19:34

Every night. its part of his bed time routine.

nell12 · 22/09/2005 19:40

dd (11m) bath every night
ds (9y) bath at night, shower in the morning

They love bath time so much I would feel mean if they missed it!

Whizzz · 22/09/2005 19:41

Every night (DHs job) whilst I'm on here !

motherinferior · 22/09/2005 19:42

Four and two here and yes it's every night but that is partly because their father is a bit odd about baths/showers. I think he thinks it's morally degenerate not to have them.
