bath time question
When do you bathe lo and where do you bathe lo? I usually give baths during the day to whoever isn't napping. And I do it in the little bath tub over the kitchen sink. Bed time is so crazy for me. I'm at my most tired, plus it can be challenging to get both babies to sleep by myself. DH works a lot of evenings. We have had non stop company since they have been born who are using what will someday be the baby's bathroom, so I haven't attempted to do it there. In 3 more weeks our long term company will be gone (YAY, but that's for another post) and I want to start giving baths upstairs before bed at least every other day. Just curious what everyone else does.
Re: bath time question
We bathe Alice in her bathtub set inside the big tub. We have a showerhead that can reach down to her so we can wash her hair easily. It's a great setup for us!
ETA: We bathe her every other day, around 6:30 or so.

I made rachelmichelle1 my bitch.
These babies get bathed once a week. It's all I can manage. We bathe them whenever we can. We're in survival mode.
For DS1, we bathed him every night in the evening as part of a bedtime routine. My how things have changed...
We were doing it before bedtime for a while, but bathing DS seems to jazz him up. Plus it's hard to squeeze in bath time between our dinner time and DS's bedtime. So a couple of weeks ago I switched bath time to mid-morning, after DS wakes up and nurses. Since I'm SAHM, it's not inconvenient for me, and it frees up our evenings. I bathe him 3x week (Sun, Tue or Wed, Fri).
We have FP Tub of a Whale, and we put that inside the regular bathtub in our guest bathroom.

I do bathtime in our big tub, but we have a detachable shower head. I will lay a folded towel down on the floor of the tub. I didn't really want to buy a baby bathtub.
I will usually bathe her a couple times a week. We don't have any type of set schedule, but she tends to take good naps on days she gets a bath, so if there is something I important I need to do, I plan it for that day.
If she didn't sleep well at night, I would probably make it part of our evening routine.
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.
