Zachariah is 15 months and gets one every night. It's Daddy time

I was starting to wonder if that was too much. Problem is he has a lot of hair and he manages to get food and what not in it.

Briahnna and Skye get them almost every night (sometimes we are lazy) They are 7yrs and 4 yrs old.
Aiden gets one every 3 days cause his bottom gets cleaned every 5 minutes and he doesn't get dirty anywhere else really. He is almost 6 weeks

Um Lyssa is 4 and she gets about 2-3 a week unless needing otherwise.

Kate is 11 months and she gets about one less than Lyssa just because she seems to be a bit more sensative to the soaps.

Greg had a bath every night of his life until he was about 9 then he switched to showering every night instead, as far as I'm aware he still showers every night (while he was here he was showering 2-3 times a day )

the boys absolutely hated water from the day they were born and after the first few weeks I stopped bathing them ever night bc it was just too stressful on everybody, after that they got 'topped and tailed' every day and a bath every 3 days. I finally figured out what was wrong and fixed it over a period of several weeks when they were about one year old, after that it was a daily bath again until they were about 7-8 then they switched to showers, Tk showers at night, Rick showers in the morning.

We try for every day, but sometimes it doesn't happen. And it depends on the season. In the summer, he got one every day. Because of his eczema, the doctor said just do it when necessary during the cold, because the soap dries out his skin so bad, and the cold weather already has it dry enough. When he is really dirty or just wants to play in the water, sometimes he may get more than one a day. LOL.

Most of the time, they get one every night, but I will admit Mommy is lazy and they do skip a bath some nights.

Depends on the time of year and how nasty they are. During the summer, they pretty much get one at least once a day because they play outside alot and get nasty! I'm not really supposed to bathe Cody that often, but he's also not supposed to go to bed with all the allergens on him. No win situation there. If they aren't sweaty and nasty, they get a bath every other night.

Every other night. Like Dawn said, if it is the summer they get bathed every night with being sweaty and dirty.

When Kyler was in daycare, he got a bath every night.
Now, both he and Delaney get a bath every other night - unless they are filthy and really need it.

My ped has always said not to give babies baths every day but it sure is hard with Payton! That girl BEGS for baths and I swear she gets super messy at mealtimes just so she can have a bath! So, Payton gets one 1-3x a day unless she doesn't get herself sticky nasty. Otherwise all kiddos take baths every other day unless they got stinky outside or something. Heck in the very coldest part of winter my kiddos may go 2 days without a bath since they just pretty much sit around anyway.

Hayley has a bath about every second or third night, now that Summers approaching I prolly bath her more but we'll see. During the Winter or if she has a cold I only bath her once a week, but I make sure she is cleaned in between.

Kimmy is 4 and gets a bath every night. Sometimes we get lazy and skip a night.

Alyssa is 5 weeks and she gets a bath every 2-3 days. Sometimes more cuz I love the baby bath smell.

I am terrible about baths!! Rhyne maybe gets one a week unless she jumps in the shower with daddy. Braylen will usually get one if he pees in his crib (which is at least twice a week), depends how smelly he is
