Parenting after a Loss

XP: between bath sizes??

Anyone else have this issue... Raylan has started scooching out of the whale tub and obviously I don't leave or let go of him for a second, but even so he almost got his head under water like 3 times last time he was in it because it's such a quick movement.  So I tried putting him in the big tub in a bath seat but it seems too big and he slouches way down in it...not safe either.  How do I bathe him??? Anyone else in this situation? Suggestions?

  • I am on mobile so I can't see how old DS is, but when DS1 outgrew his baby tub we moved him into the sink. Is that a possibility? We used the sink then until he was about a year probably...

  • We moved DD to the kitchen sink after the baby tub. But not until she could sit up.

  • We got a reclined bath seat from amazon I'll try to find it later. We put it in he regular tub and it helped the transition. Good luck!

  • We had this issue.  I used the bath seat, but just put it close to the edge of the tub so he would press/pump his legs against the edge and it would keep his crotch from sliding forward.. Once he was sitting better, I just bought a bath mat for the t

  • My DS will be 6 months next week and has long outgrown his bath tub. Since about 3 months, I have just been putting him in the regular tub. I fill it with 2-3 inches of water and lay him on his back and he kicks away and is as happy as a clam. When I n

  • When DD was too big for her baby tub we would lay her in the big bath tub with her head and shoulders propped up by a towel. We would fill up the tub until the water would barely reach her shoulders.

    She really enjoyed it, stayed warm, and i

  • Does the whale tub have a sling?  We used that until DS was sitting up well.  It kept him from sliding down like that, though I would have to shift him during the bath.  Once he outgrew that tub by size, we moved him into the big tub in the

  • Our baby tub came with a sling and we used that until DD could sit well, which was around 6m. Since then she's been sitting in her baby tub.

    I just saw a great idea this morning where you put a laundry basket in the big tub and use that insted o
