Everyday. I know doctors said Eczema shouldn’t bath or shower everyday but i just cant stand going to bed without showering. Just dun use too hot water and apply whatever cream you use for eczema immediately after it.

Every second day for my almost 2 yo

Infant once a week, 4yr every 2-3 day unless she gets really grubby of has been at preschool. As someone with sensitive skin, I understand just how bad daily washing can be on your skin but I also know it’s important to keep clean, so weekly for the 4yr old just doesn’t work

Depends on their age and what they have been doing – I often let my kids miss a day, if they hadn’t been doing any thing strenuous and weren’t covered in mud, but I guess everyone has to do what they think is right. Sensitive skin can be harmed if you wash it too often.

All depends on the days activities, but at a minimum every 2nd day.

  We are very active so every day.

I often get excema. Multiple doctors have said not to shower daily. Depends on what you’ve done through the day, the weather, and how messy you got.

When my daughter was newborn she was only bathed every three days (spills & what not wiped with a warm wet face cloth) however she is two now & she showers/bathes every night because she just gets too grubby!
My granny used to just tell us “wash your face, feet, pits & bits” ???? & we would have a proper bath every second night.
I guess what I’m saying is, is that there’s no one way. Are they clean? Cool. If they’re not the bump up the bath time!

I can see how rashes can happen with washing delicate skin too often. My hands are dry and sometimes get rash-like when I’ve had to wash them far too many times in a day, for days. I think going a few days is alright as long as the child hasn’t soiled themselves. As soon as you produce B.O., under the shower daily you go. Or in the bath if that’s your style.

My Mum washed under our face then under our arms and our bottoms every day. It depended what we had been doing, how dirty we were and what the weather was how many times a week we were bathed. Think back to when everybody was totally reliant on rainwater. People including adults did the same thing and bathed once a week. The bath water was sometimes used for washing clothes, then floors, and the rinse water used on fruit trees

  We may see a return to this in years to come, if we do not start to conserve water resources now, with 50% of water going towards agriculture, and with gas fracking and mining using up huge amounts of ground water too. Put your rain tanks in now if you can.

For kids with normal skin etc then everyday is a good clean habit to have.

Theres germs and bacteria
To keep clean and babies also sleep much better and they get into habbit to stay clean and fresh
How can u not bath at least once a day ?????

The GP said two or three times a week max for our young one with eczema. Once they hit double digits it’s definitely every day, but younger than that we generally went every second day and very mild sap.

Had this debate with other half but yep my kids get dunked daily. Bubs too….but no soap every other day for him. He’s a sweaty bub and I don’t use any kind of powder so I want that bum that’s been sitting in pee on and off through the day to be rinsed at the very least. I tried it hubby’s way and bub ended up with very sore creases under his arms and smelly under his fat chin.
