How often bathing baby?

Our LO is 20 weeks and we are establishing a bedtime routine which is loosely bath, book, bottle, bed. However, we don't want to bath her every day (HV advised 2-3 times a week is ideal) but then worried that we won't have the same routine every day. Is everyone else bathing every day just to maintain their bedtime routine?

We bath our LO every other day. He’s the same whether we bathe him or not because he has other sleep cues on the days he doesn’t have a bath. I hope that makes sense. 💕 x

We give our little girl a bath every other night and on the nights we don’t be just give her a wipe down with a flannel x

We do twice a week x

We only bathe 2-3 times a week at most at the moment. I bathed my first every day and I swear it caused him skin issues which we don’t currently have with my LG (obvs could be coincidence!). My LG falls asleep every night by 6:30 and is a brilliant sleeper so until this changes, I’m sticking with what we’re doing! The one thing I can look back on with the benefit of hindsight was that as an FTM I was really fixated on routine so I’m more relaxed this time round. That said, we have had 2 great sleepers so again, it could be more down to their nature rather than my nurture if that makes sense? X

Twice a week for us x

Every other day. Wash hair weekly/when needed. X

Our boy has dry skin so only twice a week for us so it doesn’t dry out too much x

I bath him every day but three of the days just with water and then a tiny bit of delicate soap for the other four. My baby is extremely sicky so he smells if I don’t bath him, I would probably do like four if he wasn’t x

Every other day is bath time & routine still works perfectly

We do twice a week x

We bath every day for his routine. I just use products only twice a week so I don’t dry his skin out. He loves the bath
