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

Forgot to add my kids never make it 24hrz without needing a clothes change anyway lol. DD has pajamas and day clothes DS stays in his night clothes till I get a chance to put him in day clothes. Dd has shower twice a day because only way o can keep her contained while I shower.

I work at a primary school and it seems more common for kids to bathe a couple times a week than it is for them to bathe daily. I find this odd because they're usually all muddy, covered in paint, texta etc.

Dd1 and ds were always changed about three times a day as they chucked and were always washed without fail daily, dd2 had reflux and tummy pains but no chucking so she hated being changed so usually only once a day occasionally she would stay in the same ones for 24 hours. I couldn't imagine keeping them in the same clothes longer as others have said we feel yucky so kids are probably the same? Dunno but it seems wrong to keep them in the same ones for a couple of days just to save on washing!

My boys rarely lasted a whole day in a newborn outfit - they always seemed to get covered in dribble/spew/poo. I also bathed them every night before bed, as part of their bedtime routine (still do!). But I do have other friends who only bathe newborns (and change clothes) every few days.

We've has a BIG changing day - enormous pooplosioons and a big chucky session so the count so far is outfit no. 5, 1 bath for her and a shower for both of us. Oh, and second lot of clothes for me except for shirt and bra which is up to the third of each. Hmmmm. Not the best day!!

Always bathed DS at night to calm before bed, but only used soap every 2nd day. We changed him at least once a day. Now he had pjs at night, and change to day clothes in morning. Pjs get used until they are dirty or every 3 days.

My girls always got a daily bath as they were poo-ers and spewers hence they also had multiple costume changes during the day. Combined with cloth nappies the washing was pretty full on.

These days they can wipe themselves pretty well and don't get too filthy (apart from hands and face) so they only have a bath every second night.

I think what we have learnt from all these comments is that there is no 'weird' or 'normal'. Everyone just does what works for them, and as long as the child is happy, healthy and not overly stink , then you're doing fine!
