How often are we bathing kids?

[Honeybeebuzz]

We have a 1 year old and a 4 year old, bath time is usually twice a week and they also get a shower after the swimming pool. A friend recently advised she baths her kids every night? I thought this wasn't great for their skin but now im not sure. I shower at least once a day but didnt think kids need that as they dont sweat

Ds is almost 1.5 and we bath him most nights. It's not really much of a scrub and I won't always do his hair every night, it's more just part of his bedtime routine and getting the last of his energy out before sleep. He loves the bath and he definitely winds down easier to sleep with a bath than without one.

Mine twice a week at home.

Eldest twice a week at swimming, youngest once a week.

It’s too much for them both tbh, as their eczema is flaring up and we’re using lots more cream than we were.

I refuse to go swimming because of the number of people who do not wash. This thread reinforces that 🤣
