A member asked:
Are daily baths okay for a child who has sensitive skin?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Depends what you bathe him with, how hot the water is and how long the bath is. The longer the bath, the more you strip the natural oils from skin. If he is an active kid and he is sweaty, not bathing him may be worse.

Sure.: Just use a mild soap, and don't leave him/her in for too long.
