The description of bathing habits seem exaggerated to me. According to Peter Englund many 1800th century upper-class Europeans almost never washed themselves with water! They just rubbed off the worst dirt with dry towels and changed underwear! Although the Bonapartes belonged to the nobility they could not afford to live more luxuriously than the bourgeoisie. If Maria Letizia got her children to bath every other day why did one third of them die as infants? The first one may have died as a toddler depending on where you draw the line between the ages. But this is how it was as far as I know.
