How often do you give bub a bath?

[Sterla]

I've been wondering this for a while...

How often should I give my DS a bath? He's 2 months old, and I've been giving him a bath every 2-3 days. Should I be doing it every day, or is it just a matter of personal choice?

I think it depends on the bub. My kiddo adores baths so we do it every night as part of his bedtime routine. But I think they say actually every couple days is better for the oils on their skin or something.

We bathe together every night as part of bedtime routine, have done so with all my babies..they all love it so much and we just love all the skin to skin contact.

We have a once every few days sort of pattern.

DD settles reasonably well with a routine that does not involve a bath so we have never needed to use one every day to go to sleep.

Every 2-3 days for us - I give him a wash-cloth clean inbetween days.
