- About bedtime rituals ...
-
- I notice many people say that a bath is part of the ritual. Now with older
- babies (who crawl or walk or are messy eaters) I can understand this, but
- I am wondering about younger babies, say about 6 months or so (my kids
- age).
-
- I only bathe her once 4-6 days or so. I do this so infrequently because
- 1) she doesn't seem to need it, doesn't smell, isn't uncomfortable
- 2) I don't want her skin to get dry.
-
- I have fair skin myself and go nuts in the winter when I bathe a lot, even
- with lotions, which I don't want to use on the baby a lot.
-
- I do wash her face, hands and feet every day (or several times, depending
- on amount of food/cat hair spread all over, etc.)
-
- Does this seem unreasonable? Should I bathe her more often?
