DS has been sick with a cold and cough. I haven't given him a bath in about a week. he sweats very easily so his head smells horrible right now lol. he's dirty and sticky. it seems like he's getting a bit better. is it ok to give him a quick bath?

When my son is sick he gets a bath everyday until better do the germs don't sit on his skin.

Plus I hate being sticky from being sick and imagine its uncomfortable for him as well.

So yes give the stinky kid a bath:)

I'd steam up the bathroom first to make it warm, or maybe do a sponge bath? I try to avoid baths while they're sick, I do sink baths instead.

Zoey will be 6 months in 3 days and has a cold. She is happier in the bath.
