DS is another one who hates getting out the bath, he is better if the air is warmer (or was as a babe in arms). I think going from warm water to cold air is horrid as an adult, let alone for a baby.

How is her skin? DS has eczema and that's really awful for drying, so we either pat dry or let him run around naked now until he's dry.

I like nightly bathing as it is relaxing (aside from the post-bath trauma) and sets you up for sleep. Apparently.
