Is It Unhealthy To Bath Everyday?
Is it unhealthy to bath everyday? I am having a lot trouble with my elderly mother having a bath. She has bladder problems. We do not ask her to bath every day but every time we do we have to listen to the same story about it being unhealthy to bath too often.

Hi,
Bathing daily is good. I have no reason to suspect otherwise unless you are conserving water.
If she has bladder incontinence she might require therapy. If it is recent onset in behavioral changes, she might require evaluation for dementia.
Any further queries, do ask again.
