How often do you give your kids (babies, preschoolers, and elementary age) a bath? I don't think everyday baths are necessary before puberty. What do you think?
Answer
I would say it depends on the season. In the summer most children who are mobile will need a bath or shower almost every day, especially toddlers and preschoolers, and those that swim in chlorine pools. I don't like to do that because of the drying effect of soaps on the skin so I usually do a "sprinkler shower" every other day, or just skip it. If they are dirty or have chemicals (like sunscreen, bug spray, or chlorine) on their skin, you have no choice, they must be washed. Hand and face washing is extremely important to staying healthy too, so make sure they learn to do that year round. In the winter I like to do showers every third day depending on the state of the child. You really will have to use your own judgements based on the dryness or other irritations your child's skin is prone to as well as your child's hygeine habits and activity level, all of which can change on a daily basis. I have one child that plays quietly with books and legos some days, stays perfectly clean. Other days he just climbs into a mud puddle and hangs out in it all day, or so it seems. My youngest (toddler) seems to need a bath every ten minutes. I just keep a wet rag handy and swipe at him as he runs by on his way to creating his next mess. I always do showers or baths in the evening before bed, part of the bedtime routine. I have never found the need to bathe a baby(less than three months) more than twice a week in winter, and three times a week in summer. I always preferred wiping the baby down if one of the other children got something on him, and I found it easier to wipe out folds when baby was nursing. Baths always had my newborns throwing fits during and shaking like a leaf afterwards(shivering, even with the towel), which unnerved me considerably. When they became big enough to distract with toys or face games the bath became easier for me, and it seemed easier for them too. Once the child is old enough to decide when to take his own baths or showers you will still have to remind them. I still don't understand how people don't know they stink, but there it is lol. Good Luck
