Mayo Clinic Minute: How often should your kids bathe?

Bath time can be a struggle for parents.

“I help a lot of families with this issue,” Mayo Clinic pediatric dermatologist Dr. Dawn Davis says, smiling. “It becomes a sort of contract negotiation with young patients and parents.”

The good news is, depending on their age and activity level, some children need just a few baths a week using an unscented, hypoallergenic soap.

In this Mayo Clinic Minute, Dr. Davis explains how often kids at different ages should be in the tub or shower. Jeff Olsen reports.
