Bathing your child more than once a day??

People really do this regularly? I'm not talking Jr. has a major accident and needs an extra bath, but am I to understand that some moms bathe their kids 2-3 times a day? Ummm, WHY??? I may take a shower twice a day but that's because I work out at night, and I like to start my day feeling clean.

i had to bathe my son at least 5 times a day....he was born with such allergies, that his skin would crack and bleed....he is over 40 now, but i have very few photos of him as a baby....i was too busy bathing him!!!  he still has allergies but he has learned to live with it.....he could not even wear a diaper, as he was allergic to his own urine....seriously   grandma Linda

I think it is crazy personally.  If a child has allergies and gets exposed to things, i understand it but still seems excessive.  Plain water rinsing off the debris usually will suffice.

I bathe my youngest (17 months) at least twice a day & If he poops I also wash his bottom every time as well - I cannot use wipes on him. He's highly allergic to most things that come in contact with his skin.

not me, my youngest has some awful eczema if I bathe her even daily.  I think they might have gotten a two-fer once or twice, but it would have been before a party or gathering, and after to get all the chocolate syrup or frosting off of them.  oh, or when we had dirt fights as kids... I wouldn't want to put mine in bed in that condition if they were inclined to have such battles.
