When I read about ...HAHA - love your last sentence. When I read about the critics I was thinking "Spoken like someone who does not have multiples." When our triplets were infants they got 1 bath a week. That's what they did in the NICU so I figured it was good enough for us. When they started crawling around and eating solid food and generally getting messier we started bathing them more frequently. Now they are 4 and get 2-3 baths a week depending on what they've been doing or how messy they get. Now that it's summer here it will definitely be 3 baths (at least) because they are playing outside and getting dirty and sweaty and sticky with sunscreen. I'm sorry but it is a LOT of work bathing 3 little kids. I will do it as much as is necessary, of course, but I just don't think every day is necessary!Christinehttp://trio.vox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26221967.post-27620953449819435012010-06-26T23:01:36.214+10:002010-06-26T23:01:36.214+10:00Well I'm in the UK and I never bathed my kids ...Well I'm in the UK and I never bathed my kids every day either. My eldest at almost 13 does need to shower more frequently now, but my 7 yr old is bathed maybe twice a week, and there is always a good wash with a flannel morning and night. I agree with Claire, I don't think daily showering is particularly good for your skin, although when it's really hot and sticky (as it is here now) you do certainly feel like showering more often.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290653909989504581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26221967.post-1895665296907367172010-06-23T23:43:15.404+10:002010-06-23T23:43:15.404+10:00We never bathe our twins every day, never have. F...We never bathe our twins every day, never have. For the most part, we have 3 specific nights a week that are "bath nights." My one son has eczema, so daily bathing isn't good for his skin anyway. <br /><br />Even now, at 5 1/2 years old, it is still a chore to bathe the boys, and it is one that I don't have the patience and energy to do every single day. So I completely understand!<br /><br />And, yes, if they spend a non-bath day rolling around in mud, they get an extra bath that week :)Kristin Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26221967.post-10845029209602021272010-06-23T22:49:09.067+10:002010-06-23T22:49:09.067+10:00You are not alone!!!
I do not have triplets.
My ...You are not alone!!!<br /><br />I do not have triplets.<br /><br />My kids only bathe, on average, twice a week, unless they are really grubby for some reason.<br /><br />I myself only shower every second day, and no I don't look dirty or smell. <br /><br />It has only been "normal" to bathe every day since the end of the second world war, when society became pretty obsessed with all things science and "hygiene" related.<br /><br />I think to bathe every day is a waste of good water, and not actually necessarily good for your skin or hair.<br /><br />I actually really enjoy a long hot shower, and find it difficult to wash my long, and very thick hair in 4 minutes. Having a shower every second day also makes me feel better about the fact that my showers are longer (probably 8 minutes).<br /><br />International readers (Hi all Em Gee Zee's Yankee Friends) might find this more shocking than local readers - Melbourne has had 10 years of drought and our water supply has been steadily dropping during that time. It is currently at 33.2%<br /><br />Rant over, but Em, I am so with you!<br /><br />Oh, and welcome back to blog-land. :-)Claire - Matching Pegshttp://www.matchingpegs.comnoreply@blogger.com
