I swear bath time just gives my child more energy like he loves it so much he’s playing having a great time and will stay in there for over an hour easily. I have it early in our schedule because of this and have been told it should be later. But often when people talk about their kids and having bath in their wind down routine. So I just want to see roughly how common each is :) if your kid does showers instead of bath then it would be the same question but with shower

It can go either way but mainly wind down because for him it’s just part of the nightly routine and so his brain makes the association that bath = bedtime.

Mine can go either way it doesn't necessarily make her sleepy she'll still have energy lol but it does help her relax at night

We do bath in the afternoon. At bedtime I’m already hanging on by a thread. I’d lose my mind if I had to bathe them at night
