[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right here on John's Hopkins website it says "Babies don’t need an elaborate skin care regimen and barely any products. Keep bathing to a minimum to avoid stripping the skin of its protective natural oils. A bath twice or three times a week is sufficient."

Hmmm... who am I going to go with?  A pediatric dermatologist at one of the top medical schools in the world, or an internet rando who likes to call other parents lazy?[/quote]

I’m going with my experience.  A nightly routine of bathing my baby and barrier lotion kept her free of eczema, cradle cap and diaper rash.

Having worked at Hopkins, a lot of their advice is greeted to lower income families just trying to get by.

But you do you.  [/quote]

Ok but it's also possible that your baby wouldn't have had any of these issues without bathing as well.

And I'm sorry but your contention is that Johns Hopkins tells poor people not to bathe their babies for what reason exactly? That's nuts. [/quote]

It's certainly a dogwhistle.[/quote]
