A leading pediatrician has revealed the bath time truths every mum and dad needs to know
As any parent will attest, convincing the little ones to take a bath can be a battle of wits. But the question remains: how often should children actually be bathed?
Paediatric expert Dr Sam Hay has shared some essential insights on bath time routines for children of all ages. He emphasises the importance of using mild bath oils instead of harsh soaps to protect a baby's sensitive skin and recommends gentle washing. "Don't over-scrub either," Dr Hay cautions. "To a baby's bum, that washcloth can feel like sandpaper!"
Teenagers, dealing with hormonal changes and increased sweat and oil production, will generally need to bathe every day. Dr Hay points out, "Their skin is constantly dirty, plus challenges like acne kick in," making regular washing essential during these years.
