Duck tub fail

CeeMatCeeMat
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

DD hates the duck tub. I have been looking for a better way to wash her since she is too big for her sling in the sink and I didn't like her infant tub.  DD got a duck for Christmas so I broke it out the other night and she screamed hard the entire time. I tried again the next night and she started screaming as soon as I took her socks off next to it. Yesterday I tried just having the duck around the house so that she might become desensitized to it but she just looks at it and screams.

I loved washing her in it. It was perfect for me but apparently she didn't agree. I'm back to the too small sling in the sink for now.

    I'm sorry.  Does your beak squeak? Sometimes that makes all the difference...

    Can you just put her in the tub?  I started putting PJ in the big tub around 6 months.

    We started bathing DD in the tub around 6 months- she did really well- we started by being in the tub with her and now we can bathe her supervised just fine in the tub by herself.

    Maybe if the beak didn't squeak she'd be ok. DH seems to think the squeaking will fix everything but it just makes her cry more.

    I'm a total clean freak when it comes to DD and I would want to clean the regular tub ever night before putting her in it. I'm trying to avoid it as long as possible. I also have 2 herniated disks and I'm trying to avoid the bending. Plus, if she's afraid of the duck then I'd think she'd be terrified of the big tub but I could be wrong.

    I might head to Buy Buy Baby tomorrow. They have a sling made for bigger babies. That might hold me over a little longer. She loves her bath if its in the sink.

    This is not news on the bump.

    Perhaps it would have squeaked if it looked like this... image

    Try the Eurobath.  It's very big and I know many mom's who have toddlers who use it.

    What about just sitting her in your kitchen sink? Less open, good size, put a towel under her butt to help with sliding.

    Thanks for the suggestions, ladies. I saw the Eurobath on Buy Buy Baby's site. I might check that out tomorrow too.
