Bathtime is a nightmare!!!!

JLB24

We were using the Fisher Price whale tub, but C kept bending over to reach the sticker at the front, so I took the little hump out of it.  Well, then, he began trying to flip over...I guess he was trying to crawl.  He would reach over the side and slump over.  So then I tried putting him in the regular tub, but it was too slippery and he'd slip and slide all over the place.  I bought a mat so he doesn't slip and slide, but I'm only filling the tub a few inches bc he keeps trying to crawl.  Now, the water is getting too cold, too quick, so he is shivering!!  I just don't know what to do!!!  He LOVES bath time...any suggestions for an overly active little man??

Fill the water a bit deeper and give him lots of toys to play with! Wash him quickly and then let him do as he pleases.

We also use the regular bathtub and I have a large baby sponge that she sits/lays on.  I only put a few inches of water and get her cleaned pretty quick.  After that, she plays for a few minutes and when she started to signal she is done, uncomfortable, chilly, or whatever, I get her out.  I also keep the door closed in the bathroom, which seems to help a little with the warmth factor.  Sorry, I'm not really any help, but doing pretty much the same thing.

We use a bath seat and it works great. she loves it. I tried the duck tub but she just tries to stand and moves all over the place. Try the seat. I fill the tub up so she can splash in the water while sitting in the seat.

Is a bath seat like a Bumbo???  Where'd you get it?  Thanks for all the suggestions???

Kinda of. It secures to the bottom of the tub and then locks in across the chest. More like a swing for an infant only in the tub. In the beginning we had to put a foam piece behind her but now she sits in it like a pro.

This is the one we have and I had it shipped from Walmart.

DS and I take a bath together 90% of the time.  It's just so much easier. 

The other 10%, I use the inflatable duck tub, sitting in the regular tub.

I am fond of our Primo Euro Bath. The thing is HUGE but it is boring and white so DS amuses himself by kicking in the tub. It is like a tsunami in our tub since he finds it hilarious. I usually use it on the kitchen floor since he manages to splash so much water out eventhough we barely fill it. Because of the size it is somewhere in between the baby tub and the real tub.
