Baths


What do u use/recomend for bathing your LO's? Until now we've used one of these: http://www.mothercare.com/gp/product...031&mcb=co re

Which was fine when he was little, but now he's much bigger and more active i'm scared Oli will tip it when he's in it as he lunges forward. I was just going to get him a normal plastic baby tub but dont see the point cus within a months time he should be able to use one of those bath seats once he can sit up...not sure what the best thing to do is? x

I have one of these only not blue! Suitable from birth to 2 yrs old. Not used it yet but I will be as I find the bath a pain in butt when I can use a small more comfy space for her properly (imo) that she can soak in nicely - You'd need a bathroom or space to store it after use I guess

We used a plastic bath that you can use two ways. Laying down for small babies and on the other end sitting for older babies. But now, I find Simon enjoys being in deeper water. I bathe him in our sink! We've all been bathed in the sink in my family for a bit and enjoyed it alot. He sits unsupported so it goes really well. We have a blast. We play with plastic cups and pour water on his head, hands, feet and he likes it.

I have a bath from Mamas & Papas which at one end is specially designed for babys until they can sit up on their own so the same as what SimonsMum suggested. I dont know what i'd do with out it was we also have a bath support & I was scared of it tipping or something as Olivia loves to kick her feet & try and splash with them.

The support that Jo suggested looks pretty sturdy though.

Yeah I'd agree with Kookie. Let him have a nice free splash about.

We use the support that Jo suggested & Alex loves being in it & kicking & splashing about, not sure it would be worth you buying it now though as your LO is over 4 months & i'm not sure how long the support is suitable for. Alex is already lifting his bum up when he kicks & i'm scared he might manage to lift himself out of it somehow!

I've got a seat that goes in the bath that we used for Oliver when he was about 6 months old, so when Alex is a few months older he'll be using that instead!
