How often are you bathing your kids?

Every single day. She isn't getting dirty, but it kills at least 45 minutes, the days are so long with a napless toddler!

Me too.

People with dry skin cannot bathe daily.

When my kids were 3, the bathtub was one place I could count on them being contained and getting a break. I think they would have been taking 2 or 3 baths a day if we'd been quarantined, so that I had a chance to return work emails, or order groceries online, etc . . .

My 2 year old gets two baths a day for this reason! 5 and 7 year olds is 3 times a week. We're switching to shower for 7 year old because he really needs more.

My kids 2, 6, and 10 have been getting baths or showers every night. They’ve been outside almost all day , though, in the sandbox ,on the trampoline , on their bikes, so they’ve been getting dirty.

Every day, it helps with the nighttime routine, calming down etc. Plus they're active boys

2x week. And honestly, it's our normal even before quarantine.

Every other day. Kid had eczema. But gets real stinky if we skip more than that.

Everyday in the summer if camp/bug spray/sunblock. Sometimes those are just water only bathes - depends on skin.

I do think anything less than every other day is kind of gross.

Yes, they need as much routine as possible.

Ok, but once/week is gross.

Every day- it’s a shower, part of bedtime routine, nice to sleep clean, and he’s happy so I get a little break. We also live on a condo, and as a result make extra effort to get outside daily and break a sweat on scooter or go on a walk/hike.

10 yo takes a shower most nights. I’ve gotten lazy with the 7yo, she takes a bath every 2-3 days usually.

My daughter goes running with me or her dad 3-4 times/week. She showers on our "run" days. Before quarantine, she showered after a game or practice.

Every day. We go outside, but also, I want to make sure her bum gets clean and soaked in water. Hands and face are important too and I think it’s good for her allergies. Any kid over 7/8 not bathing daily probably does smell.

People with dry skin can and should bathe daily with cooler water and apply barrier lotion. I know. This was what a top dermatologist finally told us and it cured mine and my kids dry skin for good.
