How often do you bathe your baby? Mines 5-months old now. And do you soap/shampoo every time? Lotion after every bath?

i base my babys bathing schedule on whether or not she has made poopy, haha it isnt good for anyones skin, unless otherwise told by a dermatologist, to use soap daily. rinsing is ok! but baby soaps arent harsh like non-baby soaps. u just dont want babys skin to become dry and irritated and because it is unusually delicate, i only bathe my daughter every 2 days. i do use baby wash and i do moisturize her skin after every bath. i also add a lil A & D, aquaphor or natural healing balm to her bottom parts since warm water is drying, i dont want the next time she goes tinkle to irritate unprotected, freshly cleaned skin. when we wash with soap, it strips our skin of its natural oils. so its good to help protect our babys delicate parts.
