<p>Here are some reasons why you might consider stopping this practice after a certain age:</p>

<h3>1.&nbsp;<strong>Privacy</strong></h3>

<p>As children get older, they begin to develop a sense of privacy. They may become uncomfortable or self-conscious about being naked in front of their parents or caregivers.</p>
