“Yep, total confession time: I really don’t bathe my baby,” Claire Goss wrote on Babble.

So how long has Goss gone without bathing her baby? “I will confess that I have gone longer than a week,” Goss recently told Good Morning America.

Had her 3-month-old son Charlie been her first baby, she would probably bathe him more often, but with two other children she just doesn’t have the time.

“With my first baby bath time was part of her bedtime routine,” wrote the mother of three, “but this third baby gets a clean diaper and PJs, a boob, and it’s beddy-by time.”

The Daily Mail reports that her first child received daily baths, but doctors told her that her second child’s skin was drying out from too many baths, so she cut back on the number of tub experiences.

So how often should you bathe a baby? According to the Mayo Clinic, there’s no reason to bathe your baby every day. In fact, the Mayo Clinic notes that giving your baby a bath more than a couple of times a week can dry out his or her skin. The real areas that need to be cleaned on a daily basis are the face, neck and diaper area (those areas are readily taken care of with cloths and diapers).

Goss found that the Mayo Clinic’s advice was all she need to be confident that she was doing the right thing for her child.

“This makes total sense to me,” Goss wrote. “It’s not like he’s touching every filthy thing he can find, or running around and sweating a lot, so spot cleaning should be pretty sufficient.”

The Daily Mail notes that not every Babble user was impressed with Goss’ bath time routine. Some even called Goss “gross” and “lazy.”
