How often do you lotion LO?

DD's skin has been super dry now that it is colder here. We still only do bath 2x a week and I use Aquafor after bath. Wondering if I should be using it every day or a different type of lotion for those non-bath days.

DS is 2 and gets a bath every night with lotion afterwards. When he was little he may not get a bath every night but still got lotion

I don't lotion them at all, as they haven't seemed to need it since I got off of Johnson's and went to Aveeno Baby. They're getting a bath every night because it chills them out for sleeping through the first half of the night - but just warm water except for every third day. They love tubby time, and it seems to really work for them. If I see they're getting too dry with the water baths, I'll be using some lotion on them as needed. 
ttc since June 2010.

We use lotion every night. Vanicream on her face bc of eczema. The only time we don't on her body is if we have swim lessons the next day bc it makes her too slippery for me to hold her.

Every night, but we also bathe her every day, it's all part of her bedtime routine. The child is a stickler for routine.

I apply jojoba oil after baths (2 times per week) and maybe one other time per week if I find a dry patch. Her skin is very sensitive but in the normal infant way.

Cetaphil nightly on legs feet arms and face. G gets a "wipe down" sponge bath every other night and a full on bath once a week as he freaks out in the tub so we don't push it.

Pretty much every night after bathtime. If he is overtired and crabby I skip it.

Twice a day.  Every morning and everynight after his bath (I use Aveeno with oatmeal bath that helps with his dry skin.....but he gets so dirty there is no way we can avoid it).
