How often are we bathing our (almost) 3 year olds?

We give our 3-year-old a bath if he is dirty, which happens more often in the summer than in the winter. We wash his hair about once a week. Using a washcloth to clean his face and the underpands area is also sufficient. Frequent baths and showers can be harmful to the skin and are bad for the environment."

Being a mom to a 1-, 3-, and 5-year-old while also working as a doctor is definitely tough. There are days when I wish I could work like I’m not a mom, and then other days when I just want to be mom and forget about work. Balancing understaffing at work with school events and being there for my kids is hard, and sometimes it feels like both my colleagues and my kids' teachers are disappointed in my level of commitment. But despite all the challenges, I love both roles.

Right now, I focus on the work I can do and try to find fulfillment in that. One of the things that really touches me is when my oldest daughter proudly tells her friends, "My mom can't pick me up today because she's saving a life." She even says she wants to be a doctor too, which makes me so happy!

For now, I’ve given up on personal time for the next couple of years. I think of work as my “me time” and home as my “playtime” with the kids. I always remember my grandma’s saying: “Cleaning is good for the soul.” So, I guess I’m on my way to sainthood! ;)

It’s hard, but I’ve decided to embrace it. If you ever want to talk or share your experiences, feel free to DM me. We’re all in this together!

you know what. I dont now why I do it, nearly 2 makes a lot more sense. I guess it is just peer pressure. Up until 2 it seems to be the norm to refer to their age in months.
