How often do you bathe your baby?

I bathe her every other day and do a flannel wash on the days where I don’t do a bath, but I’m thinking I’m just going to do every 3rd day as she’s not exactly dirty and still give her a wash every day just not a bath. She’s 12 weeks on Monday

I did weekly baths for months and months, and a bath after a poo explosion. Since about 8 months it's sometimes daily, sometimes every 3. It depends on how dirty he is after dinner, and sometimes it's a way to keep him happy when it's a little while till bedtime xx

Once a week. But I clean her rolls, hands and toes every day with a wet cloth. My baby is 4 months.

once a week

Exactly the same as @Hannah

Twice a week, unless more is needed.

Once a week full bath. Daily clean her hands/rolls/face. If she's fussy, sometimes we'll do a warm bath if nothing else helps. Girlie is 4 months

Once a week unless more is needed. I will increase to twice a week plus more as needed when we start solids and see how that goes. My toddler gets 3 baths a week.

I do it every other day as she enjoys it and it helps her relax/sleep well afterwards. Also, her hair is quite long already at 4 months so i like to keep it fresh as it tends to get greasy/sweaty if I don’t wash for 2+ days.

Weekly or as needed

As needed? Maybe once a week? If she gets messy, sure. If her hair starts smelling weird, yeah. Mostly it’s when her hands just get that weird smell and the baby wipes don’t touch it. I do a wipe bath nightly and put nighttime lotion on as part of our bedtime routine though.

At that age once a week 🤷 the only part of them getting dirty is getting cleaned regularly after nappy changes. I started bathing him more after 6 months when he started solids as he would get food all over him but even then it was just as and when it was needed.
