depends on age.
when she was below one year old, bathe twice, morn and evening.
but each time after bringin her out will def wipe and change her.
after one year old is bathe twice, but after bringing her out will bathe too.
now she is in CC, morn bathe, in CC tr bathe, bring her home also bathe.

i tend to bathe her each time we bring her out (unless only go down to buy things).
more hygiene and pin tend to perspire alot cos she's always running about.

so far only brought her swmming once.

No fixed time, normally bathe in the morning/noon then at nite b4 sleeping, wipe with wet towel.

For bathing, i normally bathe after his feed and when he is awake.
Intially i did not know bathe him near feeding time, he cried throughout, make me so nervous!

I usually give my dd a light shower in the morning before I sent her to infant centre :) In the afternoon,after her teacher feed her lunch, she will have a shower and again in the afternoon before fetching her from the infant centre ;) So in a day abt 3-4 times my dd will have a shower. Well, I suppose in our country which is always hot, it better to be extra clean with the H1n1 going around :)

best not to bathe baby straight after bath.
read it up somewhere before.
maybe one hr before or after milk feed. :)

hahah, no lah, i think coz you live in Japan so weather may be cooler and not so humid during the other seasons (maybe except for summer??). Don't think she would be so sticky like in Singapore weather LOL.
actually I also like to bathe her at night before sleeping coz it sort of relaxes her and she becomes more ready to sleep hee hee.

2 times a day since he was borned... now already 15 months still the same... 1 time in the late morning close to afternoon, then another one just before his bedtime, so that he can sleep more comfortable..... at least that is what i choose to believe....
As for swimming, brought him since 6 months old, once a week (only weekend, no choice, have to work, so only weekend free), but have always apply those nice smell baby lotion after bath, thus he never has any dry skin problem....

Btw, do u all use baby soap everytime u bath them or simply water at times? cos i read that bb soap is very drying for their skin...when she was a bb i only use bb soap like 2-3 times a week n water only for the rest of the week.. now she started to be mobile liao i wonder if i can use soap for her every bath?

n.. when did u all go from bath to shower??

Only the 1st 2 weeks when Iggy was born, no baby soap was used coz that stupid CL said too drying for baby's skin. In the end, I got a smelly baby for 2 weeks.. :p

But after she was fired by me, I started using baby soap on him for every bath until now. Usually 3 pumps, 1 for hair, 1 for body & 1 for butt and legs so that I can have a nice smelling baby.. :001_302::001_302::001_302:

I think when they get mobile, they sweat a lot, so best use soap.. :p

I started Iggy on shower when he was 9mths old when he can stand properly until now... :001_302::001_302::001_302:

yes i use baby soap each time i bath pin, since day 1.
her skin not dry at all!
baby soap is actually very mild n moisturising, so i think its fine to use daily.
if not pin will stink, cos she is super active n perspire so much, esp in sg, the weather so warm n humid!
i started her on the shower as soon as she can stand so before one year old.
but need to start slow cos she will get scared.
from NB, i very jialat, my bathroom quite small, so i will bring the tub into my room n bathe her there. more spacious for me cos need to support her.
when she is older n can sit up, she start to splash water, so no choice, stuck in bathroom.
then from there, i dun fill the tub up, i on the shower, then gradually remove the tub n put a small pail there for her to "play" water, then lastly just remove n bath her.
now her bath time very fast, 5 mins n we're done!

lol my girl shower also very fast unless she seems to enjoy herself inside. she still using those baby bath tub.. she seldom sweat cos japan not so humid and its colder for all the other 3 seasons but i use soap on her everyday when its summer.. so a bit worry if its drying for her lol. so now i can use soap on her safely without worrying hehe. i also use 3 pumps. 1 on her hair and 2 into her bathtub hehe.

yesterday i try using the shower head to wash her butt before bath last night cos she poop.. she seems fine. but then i wonder.. if we shower them, isnt it more messy? cos we will get wet as well?
