How often do your kids bathe and does age play a factor to you?

My daughter is 16mo. old and gets a bath in the morning after breakfast. Her morning bath gets the whole soapy rub down. Its Summer and very hot where we live so in the evening she gets another bath about a half an hour prior to bed. This bath is more of a cool down, rinse off, cool down. She has super sensitive skin so I don't use soap for her evening bath unless she is ACTUALLY dirty. 


WHAT DO YOU DO?

Eh, it just depends.  In the summer pretty much every day cuz we are usually out and have sunblock on, have been in lake water, sand, etc.  IF it's raining then they usually have a bath every couple days unless we've been to a lot of public play areas and then they definitely get washed.  All just depends on our activities.

My kids are 5 years, and 21 months. Generally they get bathed every day because they are always outside getting dirty. When they were small babies I bathed them every other day, but once they started getting around it became daily.

I'm with you on this subject. When dd was little I bathed her every day and now she's 2 but when she was little the doctor told me to bathe her every other day or every 2 days because she's half black and half white and it'll dry out her skin. Since I've switched to baths every 2 days her skin has gotten better.
