My mother always had strong feelings about NOT being overly clean. I was never expected to wash my hands before meals and it was totally permissible to eat something that had fallen on the floor. On the other hand, she was very strict about nightly baths! I would have loved to not take a nightly bath because I thought it was really boring. But when I look back on how filthy I got on a daily basis, I have to sympathize with her strict bath schedule.

It never occurred that people wouldn’t bathe their kids every day. I’m not judging, mind you. It just never crossed my mind that skipping a bath was even an option!

My doctor, who is not a nature freak, even accepts and recommends Tea Tree Oil. I am hoping God will show you what is best for your family.

Kelly L, thank you so much for the eczema tip. I’m willing to try about anything as bad as it gets with the wee ones. Oddly enough my baby boy’s (eczema) was worse this summer but both my little girl’s is worse in the winter. Maybe we all need a tea tree oil soak

Charity, both my husband and daughter have problem skin. I use tea tree oil on their scalp and skin when it breaks out in eczema. (You can drop it into bathwater and let them soak). Otherwise, I use a tea tree oil shampoo and bar soap for them (Trader Joe’s). Warning: Don’t get it in your eyes, and don’t put straight TTO on the skin of little ones, mix it with Vit E oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, ect.

Amy, maybe supplementing with GOOD bacteria pills will help your body fight it off. Also, Vit D deficiency is very common in the US due to overuse of sunscreen (although don’t get me started about that). We take Vit D supplements or stay in the sun (we live in Vegas so it is not too hard) to stave of flu and virus. One study actually showed a correlation between Vit D deficiency and illness. Incidentally, if you live in the middle part of the country North of the bottom states in the East middle in the West, the sun rays’ angle is insufficient to provide your body with the necessary Vit D. So supplementation is advised. OK, now I’ve revealed myself as a crazy. Although, just as God provided for the spiritual consequence of sin through Jesus Christ, I believe He has also provided for the natural consequences of sin via herbs and vitamins, not withstanding prayer, of course. OK, enough from the peanut gallery.

Oh, you betcha! My middle one had a mud goatee every time he went outside when he was a toddler. I also caught him with a live snail in his mouth once. We probably get 1-2 colds a year in this house, never bad enough to lay anyone up!

I must add that that bathing schedule is for wintertime. Summer is a whole different thing.

Oh, and let me just ask so that I can feel justified… I’m not a horrible mom because my kiddos 7 and under take one bath a week and an occasional one in between if they need it? My older ones, however, bathe more frequently…it’s a must! Just checking!
