Each time we gave Brody a sponge bath there was much crying involved and even a few times we thought he stopped breathing, but we couldn't be any further from the opposite now that he has graduated to a real bath.It is probably totally unneccessary to give Br
ody a bath every night, but because he loves it so much we do it. Each night Brody goes through a little bit of a cranky period. It's usually towards the end of the night when he's getting tired. A couple nights ago in the middle of fussing Trevor picked him up and set him in the bath water and he immediately stopped crying. It was so funny becuase he was in mid-cry and just stopped suddenly! He loves the bath!

After bathtime comes drying off and then getting lotioned up. This Brody HATES, and we are back to the crying! He especially hates having his head lotioned. Trevor can massage his little legs and feet all night long, but you touch his tummy and the crying begins and once you move to his head the screaming commences.If we could just figure out a way to keep Brody in a bath all day and all night, he would be happier than a kid at disneyland!

haha that's funny! Ya know, I found that kids need a routine! They sleep better and are much happier when they have the same routine every night. So bathing every night is not bad. I did it with grace, it became her routine and she slept through the night at a month and I was SO happy!
I agree, nightly bathtime routine is good! And it gets you in the habit for when you will need to bathe him everyday, or three times a day :) Did bathing him the first time scare the crap out of you like it did me? He really is so cute Taytum!
Ah! I love "fresh baby bath clean" smell. It is so good to get in to a routine like that, routine will save you (nearly) every time.
He is getting big already! Fun... It really is crazy how big peoples kids get when you don't see them very often! And then you realize your kids must be getting big too! Sad...
