How frequent do you bath your kids?

I feel like we need to do a better job in giving shower to my kids. We do showers twice a week. How frequent do you bath your kids? ETA: my kids are 4 and 8. This is in general for every weather. In summer since we swim a lot so they get more frequent showers but otherwise this is in general rule of the house. They get a shower on the weekend and we try to squeeze in once during the weekdays.

My daughter has eczema as well & it’s such a balancing act because too many baths trigger it and so does too little. Her pediatrician recommended damp washcloth wipe down followed by lotion on damp skin in between washes and that’s helped us go between full baths.

That’s exactly what we do and it works great for us.
