Any tips???

How do you guys keep your LO from standing in the bathtub.  I feel like I wrestle DS every night in the bath.  He has toys and things to play with but he would rather stand.  

Re: Any tips???

  • We still use our Eurotub. I don't know if that helps or if DD just isn't interested in standing in the tub.
  • Loading the player...
  • I just Iet her stand. Is that bad?

    I actually like it because I can get all her bits nice and sudsy, then I sit her down to rinse but she is right back up and playing once she is rinsed.

    Her favorite thing is to say "iiiii" (Hi) to the baby in the faucet (her reflection) she stands there and holds it and screams, "I, I, I". LOL  

  • I let them stand.

    Nothing helpful to add.  Just wanted to say this sounds DAMN cute.  

     

  • I too have to wrestle DS back down constantly. We have really soft water and it makes the bathtub soo slick. I try to get him washed fairrly fast then let him play. When he stands up, or starts to anyhow, I try to get him to sit, and warn him if he stands bathtime is over. I don't know if he understands, but if he does stand up, out he goes.

  • Since I have 2, I have them in bath seats.  It's kinda a pain to wash them in there, but I know they are safe and can't bang around.  They are slippery when wet!!

  • ditto sallie, i just let him stand.  I swear sometimes i end up hurting him trying to prevent him from being hurt, so i gave up
  • Ditto everyone.. I let him stand at this point.  We wrestled more when I would make him sit, and that would make him hurt himself.

     OMG, I totally love it! That sounds so damn cute!

  • I gave that battle up a LOOOOONG time ago.  He just wouldn't sit, at all.  Now that standing isn't so new and exciting, he sits for most of bath time, but not all.  Like PPs said, this gives me an opportunity to clean all the 'bits' (lol) that are hard to get to otherwise.  :)

  • Ok. Maybe I'm just being too protective. I will give in and let him stand. I think it will pass like everything else.
  • We will let him stand for a minute to scrub him, but if he tries walking around, we sit him back down and tell him that he needs to stay on his bottom (although we don't really get on to him for crawling). If he keeps standing and won't listen, we take him out of the tub and he doesn't get playtime. It's worked really well. We had to take him out a couple times and now he knows if he keeps standing he loses out on the fun part of bathtime.

    Me too. There are certain battles that I will win but this does not concern me in the least.

  • One more thing, I bet if you quit making it a battle, he'll start sitting.
