Ladies..how often do you bathe your toddler? Mine is almost 2 and he get's a bath everyday. Now today I was thinking I should start giving him 2 baths. So I decided to do some research. To my surprise I see A LOT of people say every other day or a few times a wk and I was like OMG are you serious. Only a few people say everyday... But maybe I'm the crazy one for giving my son a bath everyday. Of course when he was a baby it was different...I would not bathe him everyday. It's been a long time now that he's been getting  daily baths. What do you think? Thanks :-)surprised

He gets a bath everyday until it gets to be this time of year then we have to do every other day. His skin gets really dry and cracks if I bathe him everyday in the cold weather. But when it's warm that boy sweats so bad he stinks to high heaven by the end of a hard days play!

It used to be every night. But I do it every other day. They both break out in dry skin really bad and lotion doesnt help so every other day

I bathed my kids everyday and now as teens, of course they shower every day. Some kids have really bad skin and baths everyday are not good for them. My niece has eczema really bad, to the point a simple little scratch will bleed a lot, so my SIL was not able to bathe her everyday or her skin would just be unbelievably dry.

That's the same thing that happens with my ds!!

I have two sons age 4 and 2. I usually bathe them every day. Occasionally they do not get a bath depednding on the day's activitiesm if they are up later thab usual. Somedays I have given them two baths if we've been painting or playing in mud. But we got a water bill recently that said we use 255 gallons a day so no more 2 a day here! But they get wiped down with a wet cloth several times a day.
