Bumbo in the bathtub?

I met a lady the other day who told me that she did this.  Have any of you tried it?  Didn't it get slippery?

    That would be a big no-no.  Not safe at all.

    NO WAY!!!! That is SO unsafe. I would imagine that it would float too!

    The bumbo says specifically not to use it in the bath.

    Nope it's not for bathtime. It's very unsafe.

    Aside from the fact that it sounds unsafe, it seems like you'd have to keep taking LO out to wash different parts.  More of a pain than a helpful item.

    Things I did different with this pregnancy:
    1. Waited TTC until after I had 3 normal menstrual cycles.
    2. Got a new OB - amazing man who listened!
    3. 200 mg progesterone until 12 weeks
    4. Daily lovenox injections

    wondered after reading this. I tried it with a large can instead of DD just to see and it floats even with 3 large cans in it and it tips backwards. This is such a bad idea. I am shocked someone does this.

    I was thinking the same thing.  Seems unsafe AND a hassle!

    It floats so you couldn't actually fill the tub.  It & the baby are slippery so you couldn't take the baby in & out of it.  And I would think the baby would be cold, pissed about water in their face & not very thorough if you washed the baby w/ a shower head or washcloth.  There is a reason it says no---but there is a device made specifically for washing baby sitting upright in the bathtub...I got it as a shower gift & never used it--seemed easier to just bath the baby normally.

    WAY unsafe. Not only is it slippery but it would probably float!!! Why would anyone want to do that anyway?
