Depending on conditions, it is usually not necessary to have a full body bath every day. Instead, it can be performed every other day or sometimes Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday. Bathing can be difficult – damage may occur during bathing, carers may be anxious, and exposure to air and water may be painful. Giving pain killers before the bath may be helpful. A bathtub cushion or bath cradle eg Munchkin™ maybe also useful.
