Does your child take a bath or a shower? For those with multiple children, do they bathe together? How about boy and girl siblings?

also, do you do baths every night?

Cooper won't take a shower yet. He takes a bath a few times a week because his skin is very sensitive. He bathes more often in the summer with sunscreen and bug spray being on him more often.

They mostly take showers. If they get a bath, I usually put all three in together. Generally we go with every other day, unless someone gets extra dirty. Sunscreen in the summer does make a difference too.

Carrie takes a bath with one of her free siblings. The only two I don't bathe together are Matt and Beth as I think they are just too old. In the winter we do baths every other day. When the weather is nice my kdis need them everyday though...their sweating, and covered in a nice mixture of dirt and sunscreen.

We also do baths (neither big boy will shower) a few times a week because of sensitive skin - both Eric and Danny dry out SO quickly if I do baths every day. Baths happen more often in the summer than the winter, but I still try to at least put a day in between if I can. I just recently stopped bathing the big boys together and let them take separate baths - both like to lay down in the tub, and they kept accidentally kicking, whacking, and generally annoying each other!

Leah currently takes baths every other night, sometimes daily in the summer depending on how sweaty she is. In the winter, she can go a few days between baths.

Keller and Isla take baths together b/c each one gets truly angry if the other is in the tub and they are not. Neither one seems particularly interested in the others nether regions so I'm not worried yet! LOL

In the winter we do every 2-3 days and more in the summer b/c of sweat, but like Kel I still try not to do it every day b/c they both have eczema and it flares up more if I do it every day. If they swim in the pool, they get rinsed usually but not a full bath with soap/shampoo.

We do baths every other night unless they are especially dirty from playing outside... so in the summer they get baths every day pretty much!

Lily and Julia will sometimes take a shower, but everyone seems to prefer baths. baths aren't playtime anymore at our house, with 4 kids, its get in, get clean, get rinsed and out.. then on to the next kid. LOL

Mia gets a shower every morning. It's something I'm kind of anal about. I can't stand going a day without a shower and I won't let the kids skip it either.

The only time Mia takes a bath now is if she wants to play with her toys in the water. But I shower her off when she's done.

Ethan also has sensitive skin so he gets either a shower or bath (depending on time) three times a week. Mason is bathed twice a week. If he smells like milk or has a messy diaper, I'll clean him up quickly in the baby tub.

Ditto!

Baths are mostly done every other day at my MIL's house. She watches them 3 times a week so I rarely have to bathe them. I used to love giving Caden baths when he was a baby and now I just really do not like bath time. It results in lots of water clean up on the floors and they both fight in the bath tub, so I end up stressed out. LOL

Showers, and a couple times a week. His skin burns when he's done so we go by a minimum.
