Do you bath your toddler every night?

Just curious to be honest!

I don't, I generally bath them every other day or if they get super muddy and mucky then it will be more often.

every night for my 2.5yo. she likes bath time, it’s apart of the nighttime routine, and i feel like she needs to be washed every day

My 4yo is lucky if we do more than once a week. But recently he’s been having quick showers after wearing suncream / getting grubby in the garden.

We aim for every night, my daughter is 2, she loves bathtime and we use a sleepy bath time bubbles that help her sleep better

Yes but it’s just part of our bed time routine. If we skip a bath and hope a nap will transfer into a full nights sleep he wakes up & needs a bath for his body to compute that it is infact bedtime.

We do if he’s been at nursery all day so that’s already three days a week. The rest of the week only if he’s gotten messy really. Tend to do Sundays if we remember. Our nighttime routine is tidying up, dinner, pjs, teeth then stories. The bath can be extra sometimes as soon as we come home, it’s not really part of our bedtime routine.

Yes, everyday. Also after going to the sandpit and getting a haircut. They love it, it is their zen moment of the day.

Mostly every other night, but more often when it’s summer and they’re getting sweaty, dirty from playing outside, have had suncream on etc. they get bathed daily.

Avatar

If he's got suncream on, yes every day he has a bath or a really good scrub down. Other than that twice a week as his skin gets dry

She showers every 2 days unless she’s made a mess.

Avatar

Yep, we do every day. Only skipped a handful of times when he’s super exhausted & wants to go straight to bed.

Avatar

Yes because he poops a lot and I feel like wipes don’t do much and he’s a messy eater. I don’t wash his hair everyday though. Only when it smells like it needs washing or he gets food in it.

if i don’t bathe my toddler every night he won’t fall asleep easily lol he thrives in routine so once he knows it’s bath time he gets tired right after. it’s a sleep cue for him so it’s a must! plus he’s outside all the time and loves to get messy. plus with wearing diapers idk i just feel like it’s more sanitary too. if i missed a shower a day i would be upset lol

Avatar

Usually every morning but if we can't fir some reasons I don't care at all. So yes in theory but happen regularly not to. Depending on our activities

Avatar

I only wash him when it's necessary,which is almost daily because of suncream, outdoor play, dinner down him 😂

Avatar

Almost daily but that’s more bc he asks for a bath

Avatar

My son loves taking baths. I give him a gentle bath every day without soap — I just use water.

Avatar

Yes my son is one, he needs a bath everyday lol

Avatar

Every other night

Avatar

Every other day only because the water dries skin out. And my little boy gets little eczema patches and my little girl gets dry skin so I do what’s best to avoid that and coat them in Aveen🙌🏻

Avatar

Yep! My daughter thrives on routine and it’s part of our bedtime one

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
