How often do you bath and/or change your newborn's clothes?

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Your not weird at all.
Even as tiny babies the girls would be changed first thing in the morning and before bed.
They also never wore the same 'bed' suit 2 nights in a row as they were both kind of spewy.

As it is now the girls have PJ's they wear a couple of nights in a row then they go in the wash, they get dressed in 'proper' clothes every morning unless we have a PJ day... BUT if we have a PJ day they don't wear the same PJ's to bed.

Baths / Showers were every 2nd day as it irritated the girls skin, now it's daily or every second day.

I do exactly the same as you hun. I think they are the weird ones

DD usually kept her jim jams on under her day clothes when she was little - too cold in our house at the time! we'd change her into clean jim jams if she got grotty during the day, or at night before bed. bath was whenever it was needed - sometimes every second day, sometimes daily, sometimes more than once in the day. she preferred showers with us until she was about 18 months old though...

thanks everyone. The major reason they had against changing clothes so frequently was the extra washing. Little do they know that my evil plan is to wash as many loads daily as I can of clothes, nappies, towels etc so that my horrid washing machine dies an unnaturally early death so I HAVE to get a new one!!

But babies clothes are so tiny! It's not like you have to do 5 loads if you change them twice a day! I'm a little suprised at older children only bathing several times a week - don't they get filthy? The 5 year olds I know certainly do!

Yeah. I'm not sure how you can avoid bathing a 5 year old at least once a day. My 4 and 5 year old certainly need it.

I've lost track of how many loads of washing I've done today, but DD3's portion of that is pretty insignificant.
