Nope. I think the age of the kid matters big time, here, as well as activities. My oldest (just turned 4) has very sensitive skin and was getting excema - her doctor recommended fewer baths. Before that, we were on the take a bath every day train. Now, it's every other day, unless she's particularly grimy.

We also only bath the infant every couple of days, because the baby isn't really out and about sweating.

Personally, I'm on the twice-a-day shower train myself. Shower in the AM and the evening.

Blow some bubbles towards them at the same time, and hey, you've got soap too. You're good to go, IMO.

we shoot for 3 baths a week for our 3 year old, but usually it's only two. But we also go to the pool a few days a week, so it counts in my book.. Go ahead, throw a shoe at me.

No way, too time consuming.

If you want to dirtbag dirtbag but let's not pretend it's somehow virtuous

Just 3 baths a week? Oh my!

DP - that's basically every other day. Not at all worthy of an "oh my!" The only thing odd is the order in which pp listed the days.

And actually if one bath is Friday and the next isn’t until Wednesday? That is 5 days -literally almost a week! And then from Wednesday to Sunday is 4 days! And then from Sunday to Friday is another 5 days! This is most definitely not every other day. This is neglect!

What kind of calendar are you using? Sunday to wed is 3 days. Wed to Friday is 2 days. Friday to Sunday is 2 days.

Sorry. It is definitely bizarre. Not to mention unhygienic and disgusting.

I grew up taking one bath a week until middle school. Saturday evenings!

Where? In the sticks?

Or maybe it was on the prairie?

Put your eyebrows down. You’re laughable.

Yes, but why is your question directed to moms only?

Because Dad hygiene is less than Mom hygiene generally.
