Thanks for the responses. I hadn't thought of applying the baby wash directly on, maybe with a wash cloth or something, instead of pouring it into the bath. Hmmmm... wonder if a DD would like a "fun" bath mitt.
How often do you give your LO a bath? DD usually gets hers every other day, unless she's particularly sweaty/dirty one day. On non-bath nights, we wipe her down with a soapy wash cloth and "rinse" with another wet wash cloth.
Do your LOs use the bath or shower? DD is 15 mos, I don't think she's ready for the shower yet. I'm thinking it has to be after she's able to stand better. Well, she can stand, and she has started walking, but her balance is not always there.
