How often does your 9 year old shower?

It is actually. This is a piece of an article about bathing from Harvard Health who know a whole lot more than you.


Why not bathe a child daily?

Lots of bathing can lead to dry, irritated skin. But also, the skin has natural protective oils, and natural bacteria, that help to keep us healthy and safe — and that can get washed away with daily bathing.

If your preteen looks pretty clean, isn't stinky, isn't covered in bug spray, and hasn't been in a pool or other body of water, it's fine to skip the bath or shower. Really, bathing two or three times a week is fine. In fact, for many kids, even just once or twice a week is fine. You can always do a quick wipe with a wet washcloth to the face, groin area, and any dirty spots.

Thanks for bringing sanity… my preteen don’t smell and don’t get greasy but they get eczema when their skin gets dry. Every2-3 days was enough. First signs of body odor is when the rhythm change. For my son it happened at 10 for my daughter it was later but each kid is different

That's a minimum of 7 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 craps without washing their butts. Let that sink in. I'm totally shocked at how gross people are around here. There is no excuse for this! None!


Have you never heard of wet wipes? They are much better at cleaning than TP.

Awful for environment idiot


So is wasting so much water. If you are so obsessed with your dirty ass, stand in the bathtub with soap and small wet towel and clean it.

Most kids don’t have eczema and tolerate daily bathing just fine. Don’t your kids do any physical activity? Even with eczema, a daily wash with gentle soap in key areas and lotion afterward is adequate to not cause or exacerbate skin issues. But again, even that, is minority of children.

Also how are people disposing of these? They are not flushable (even the "flushable" ones clog sewer pipes). Are people throwing wet wipes with poop on them in the trash? It seems so gross to me. Why not just take a quick shower with soap daily? If you aren't washing hair, will take less than five minutes, and then you're clean.

It's really no different than the wipes you use on a baby, minus the diaper.

Why do so many of you think you know more than dermatologists and pediatricians? It is not recommended for children, to bathe every day nor is it needed.

Hot water every day dries out the skin. Children’s sensitive skin is thinner than adults and daily hot water strips the natural oils, damaging the skin's protective barrier. It can cause dryness, redness, irritation, and worsens conditions like eczema and allergies.

How hard is that to comprehend? Teach your kids to hand wash body parts that get dirty between baths.

Americans use over three times the amount of water than European countries do. Stop being water pigs.
