Bathing Babies

How often do you ladies bathe your babies? Is every day too much? I don't want to dry her skin out, even tho I put lotion on her after her baths.
I have been giving her a bath every other day so far. She loooooooves her baths!

I used johnson's lotion and body wash.. The best scent ever!!!

I bathe mine every second day unless they are really dirty but for infants they say 2-3 times a week bathing them too much can dry their skin....

Cameron only gets a quick sponge bath if he puked all over himself

Okie dokie. Just wondering. Babies obviously don't get grubby other than a little puke here and there, so I know they don't *need* one every day. I think i'll stick to the every other day/second day like the rest of you. I don't want .Adriana to dry up n' blow away!
Michelle! I agree I love that smell. I'm afraid one of these times that poor baby is gonna be snorted up my noise cuz i'm always smellin' her hair after her bath! :p

Yeah! I love the lavender bedtime baby wash. That's what she uses. We got tons of bathing supplies for my baby shower so i've got a lot of different brands. But I already knew I loved johnsons so that's what I chose first. But now I know there are other cheaper brands that smell the same, so when it comes time to buy it, I know what to get! I should own stock in wal-mart by now. I love that store.

i bought that a couple years ago for myself before I went away on vacation...It's all I use now. It's the best. I haven't tried it on ireland yet...I'm afraid to use any lotions and things especially with perfume. I don't want her to have a reaction.
