Just wondering how often you give your children baths. I try to give the kids baths every second day in the winter. Sometimes it is every third day. Keegan gets really dry so if I bath him every day he seems to get really bad. In the summer however he got bathed every day because of sunscreen and sweat I just put Anika in the bath with Keegan yesterday and it worked really well, two kids clean and only the effort of one bath, it was like a dream

Every other day in winter, every day in summer. My kids have dry skin, too.

Besides, it's not like they are out digging trenches.

Liam too has dry skin so I try for every 2nd day... sometimes it is every 3rd day though. In the summer it is every day!

Most of the time it's every night - it's part of his bedtime routine. I probably should be putting lotion on him but I hardly ever do (except on his knees because they get rough from him crawling so much); when he was a baby and probably up to seven or more months, I'd faithfully slather him up after I dried him off from his bath. Maybe I don't now because it's hard enough trying to dry him off and get a diaper back on him let alone get him dressed in his pj's?

We do skip some bath nights when I'm too lazy to give him one.

They both have exzema in the winter, so usually every 2 or 3 days. I have to use lotion on them quite often anyway though. I always bathe both of them together. Actually, until Marisa was sitting well on her own the only way I bathed them was all 3 of us in the tub. I would be way too lazy to do separate baths.
