Where does LO bathe?

Talltrees82 · December 2014

We still bathe LO in a basin on the kitchen counter, but lately he's been grabbing at everything in sight. We should probably move him upstairs to the regular tub, but it's so deep I fear for my back! Where do you bathe LO?

We use the bathtub he loves moving around & splashing.

Tub but our tub is sucky and shallow and has a step leading up to it I can sit on.

Bathtub. He's figured out how to operate the drain.

kmos816 · December 2014

We have an infant/toddler tub we put in the bathtub- she is still laying down in it but eventually we can move her to the side where she can sit up

We have DS in the tub. We actually use a laundry basket and put him in it inside the tub. It keeps him from slipping and his toys from floating away. He loves it! He would spend hours in the tub if I let him.

Bathtub in this bin type thing I got from my mom. It's perfect because he's got room to move but his toys won't float away. I'll search for a pic and share. I sit on the floor next to the tub

Bath seat in the big tub, because DD1 and DS would kill her if she didn't have that ring of protection.

MaglioMomma · December 2014

Big tub! Not gonna lie, we were pretttty excited to get rid of the baby tub! (Small old house, minimal storage besides the basement) DD loves her freedom in our regular tub

I like the idea of the baby bath tub in the big tub! Then I wouldn't have to use so much water filling it up, and I could actually sit in the big tub next to him instead of leaning over the side.

He goes in his baby tub inside the big tub. Love it!

Big tub on a whale bath mat. She loves splashing around and playing with the bubbles

zazu13 · December 2014

baby tub in the big tub here, too, but the baby tub is almost too small.

I tried the laundry basket in the big tub once, but she slipped all over on her bottom and was freaking out... maybe when she's a stronger sitter. I think the next step is on her back in the big tub with just a few inches of water and maybe a towel under her to make it softer.

Baby tub in the big tub. We moved there from the kitchen sink a while ago due to the baby tsunami of splashing. I still should wear a wet suit for bath time!

Abcollins57 · December 2014

He sits in the big tub and I use older brothers step stool to sit on-it's a little easier on my lower back!

Big tub with his big brother.

I was previously unaware that people used infant tubs in places other than in the big tub. I thought babies either bathed in the sink, were held in the shower, or (like most babies) tub-ception.

That's funny, because it didn't occur to me to put it in the big tub... I was thinking I would just put him in the regular tub!

We also have the duck tub in the big tub. SO has recently started showering while DS is in there so its a big handsome fest.

Ha ha we have a tsunami here too! I've been using it to my advantage to wipe down the kitchen counters afterwards, but I often end up soaked myself!

In the bathtub. She is a really strong sitter, but from time to time she lunges after toys face first into the water. I sit on the floor next to the tub, but I keep the infant seat in there so I can lay her down to wash her feet and bottom more easily

Keckers · December 2014

Inflatable ducky tub inside the big tub. This way if he face plants he just bounces off the side of the duck.

AmberLiz99 · December 2014

In a baby bathtub inside the regular tub.

We still do her reclined seat in the big tub. We tried sitting her in the tub and she did a face plant and scared me enough to wait awhile before we try that again. She loves her seat though because she can kick her legs and splash.

Similarly we use the reclining seat in the big tub (have since he was a month old?) though he's starting to hate the seat so I think we may try without it.

Found a pic this thing is perfect

In the big tub with DS in the infannt summer seat.

Soon2bStaff · December 2014

Sitting side of her baby tub inside our master bathroom tub. I usually sit on the side on the floor or against the wall with my feet inside the tub. She could easily just sit in our tub but I want to get a mat to put down first.

I put a towel in the laundry basket so LO doesn't slip.

He loves bath time. One time I forgot to put the toys in and he looked so confused

mooncusp22 · December 2014

In the guest bathroom (which has basically turned into her bathroom). Still in the baby tub, then in the big tub.

janice9821 · December 2014

In the big tub with maybe 5-6 inches of water. She loves to splash!

Our guest bathroom is baby's too. I'm cool with that. The master bathroom is the one place in our house that DOESN'T have baby shit

JessieAlbin · December 2014

First time in the big tub yesterday. My baby is too big!

Kyllarae · December 2014

Kitchen sink! We don't have a real tub so it's our only option. Good thing she doesn't mind the small space.

LaBelle0412 · December 2014

We did our first bath in the regular tub today. LO loved splashing and toys floating around her, but it was much easier with her sitting then when she laid down. Then she got very wiggly. I was using a baby 3in1 fisher price tub before today. I still think I will use the baby tub, but not all the time.

JanMommy2under2 · December 2014

@Nik102 I've seen that on Pinterest. Was there something that made you realize baby was ready for it? I'm looking forward to doing that, and now that Logan sits up very confidently I"m thinking he may be ready, especially once he gets his bath toys for Christmas.

Right now he just bathes in the big tub, and I sit by the tub wishing I had a rain poncho on because he LOVES to splash!
