How often are you bathing your toddler?

[honeybee503]

Go with what you typically do, like if they're not dirty from playing outside.

I feel like maybe I should be doing it every night now? I sometimes skip it if she's had one the night before and we haven't played outside. I do double bedtime solo 4 times a week so no bath nights are the things dreams are made of.

[honeybee503]

Choices are:

Every night

Every other night

Twice a week

Once a week

Daily. She's always wearing sunscreen and she gets pretty dirty by the end of the day. Especially at dinner.

[playswithsquirrels]

We normally do every night just because they both get so dirty and sweaty.

[Na]

Mostly every night. Every day he has sunscreen on for sure. Very rare no bath days lol.

[imimahoney]

Usually every other night but of he gets particularly dirty/sweaty then every day.

[thedahliharpa]

D sweats a lot and wears sunscreen most days. She's bathed every day. At this age, barring sunscreen, H could skip a day if she didn't go to school.

[LiveLoveLearn]

He gets about 5 a week. He's outside most days and with sunblock on so those days he gets a bath. I skip nights if we get home late or if it's a night DH is working overtime and not home. Otherwise he would get one every night just as part of our bedtime routine. He loves baths too.

I said twice a week, but it's somewhere between that and every other other day. This time of year, we play out on the back deck in the baby pool and water table almost daily before bed. I consider it a bit of a redneck bath. I'd say he's doused with large quantities of clean water daily.

Every night. They are disgusting.

[DesertMoon]

If it's a rainy day and he stayed in all day, I save my back and skip the bath...but most days he is covered In dirt so I have to.

[jfh]

Ummmm not a lot.

[bigapple]

Every night. Boy loves to pole dance on fire hydrants and downward dog on sticky subway floors.

I said twice a week but it's usually probably 3 times. We don't do every night and she doesn't seem particularly dirty. If she's been at the beach or whatever I would bathe her that night.

She's a bit of a bath fighter which is why the not every night. However now that I put William in there first she gets kind of into it and says "my turn" so I could probably get them in there nightly

ATM I have toooo much crap to do nightly though so maybe will revisit that later

I have absolutely no schedule and it's never "typical". Haha the other day she got 3 baths in one day but sometimes I realize it's been a few days since her last bath.

It's not part of our bedtime routine. Her most often bath these days is showering with H and I but she doesn't join us every time we shower so it's not consistent. Then some days she begs my mom to give her a bath in the kitchen sink. Or where I use bath as an activity to make it until bedtime.

So ya, when she's dirty, wants to join us or just for fun. Random.

[teamhayes]

Shower on the morning 4 times a week and tub at night 5 nights a week on average

So some days two showers

[silverjm]

Every night. It's part of our bed time routine. But most nights we just do a quick wash of critical areas -hands, feet, diaper area and face. I only wash his hair about once a month.

[bridgilly]

Every night, but only because she throws a huge fit if I try not to give her a bath. I don't think she needs it and would only do every other night if she would let me.

[Regina Philange]

Every other

[Regina Philange]

My kid hates showers. I dread after beach showers when we have to rinse him.

[Deleted]

Daily. He's finally reached smelly boy status but seriously. We go to the park two times a day and he's all sweaty and gross. Even when we sit at home he manages to sweat and grow things in his folds.

[tuck]

The kids bathe together, and they usually get filthy after dinner. So, pretty much every night. But, DH runs the water and puts bubble bath in it, then he comes back until Sadie starts screaming for him to get her out. Either he or Holden scrubs her. After a while Holden gets herself out.

[katie]

Daily. She's gets dirty, wears sunscreen and also because she's in DC I don't know what she's had her hands in. And the hair gets sunscreen or some sort of food, paint.

[AndyCohen]

We used to do every night, but we've been lazy the past couple months and changed it to every other.

[browneyedhunni85]

Every day. He stinks by the end of the day and there's nothing like a fresh out of the bath toddler to snuggle. Well maybe an actual baby but you get what I mean.

[beelove]

Every night before bed.

[Deleted]

Every other day, sometimes less lol. I don't think she smells? Maybe she does and I have a mom sented nose.

[spaghetticat]

Every other night.

[laurensmomma]

We do nightly but mostly due to her eczema.

[Deleted]

Pretty much every other day. He doesn't like getting dirty so I don't generally have to worry about that. I mean he won't even walk barefoot in grass or sand. We've pretty much had the same bath schedule since he was a little baby.
