s/o about LO and water. I'm worried about his ears in the water.

Normally we give Jacob a bath on a slanty thing that keeps him at an angle, when I was at my grand-parents for the week-end, I just put him flat down in the bath.  He LOVED it.  He was smiling, splashing his hands, kicking his feet, it was just really cute.  But I'm worried about water getting into his ears.  We don't have a pedi appointment until next month, has anyone elses pediatrician mentioned anything about this?

DH asked our Pedi about this at one of his appointments and he said not to worry about it.

I imagine it's sort of like when you go in the pool - water gets in your ears, but it doesn't bother you, right?  Unless there's something I don't know about babies' ears.  And if it was bothering him, I'm sure he would let you know.

I wonder about this, too.  I'm glad mrs. k's pedi said not to worry about it.  DD always likes to slink down so her ears are 1/2 in the water.
