My daughter is starting to hate
bathtime... She is almost 4 months old and
She screams during bath time... I have an
infant bath with one of those sling
support thingys. She has been using that
sling thing until now but she hates it
now... is she too old for it? HOw should I
bathe her? How should I position her?
Should she sit up in one of those bath
seats? OR should she continute to use the
sling thingy? HELP!

i used the infant bath until just last
week. amelia hated her bathtime until she
realized that she could splash. lol that
was at about 6 months old....now i just
got her a ducky bath tub (blowup by
munchkin) and she love love loves it. i
like it too because she sits up really
good in it. (she cant' sit up yet.) it's
great. i love it. i can't see filling up
the bath every day or everyother day to
give her a bath...so i use less water in
this. so far so good.

hey hun, well landon outgrew his bathtub
pretty quick too. and i didnt like the
mesh kinda bathseat thingys , i haven't
tried the plastic ones because he LOVES to
swim. so i just hold him with one hand
underneath his belly and he kicks and
splashes and i moves him up and down the
bathtub like hes swimming and he loves it,
and then i put him on his back holding his
head so his head doesnt go in the water
and he kicks and stuff he likes it that
way. we take him to the pool and he floats
on his belly and kicks like he does in the
bath hehe, so landon likes that way, its
something to try if you like! Good luck!

Alyvia didn't start sitting up until just
a few days ago. And even then, she can
only do it for a few minutes if she's not
distracted. She topples over a lot.
.we're looking into getting her a bath
seat soon!

I had .oni in her bath seat at 3 months.
SHe just rested on it. I felt that it
helped her sit up a lot quicker!
SOrry it's so big, I didn't feel like re
sizing it!
Just wanted yall to see how young she was
when she first got it!

i bathe finn in the sink. it is *so* much
easier and quicker than when i did it in
his baby tub. he loves it too, we have a
double basin sink so one is just the right
size for him and he absolutely loves when
i spray him the with the sprayer, and it
makes rinsing his hair and all the soap
off him wicked easy.
once he outgrows the sink i'm going to get
one of the inflatable munchkin tubs like
gen has. i have a bad back and right now
it's just easier for me to stand at the
sink than to have to get down on the floor
by the tub.

This is probably a really stupid idea so
please don't laugh at me. But, have you
tried giving him something to entertain
him? A squishy toy or something. Maybe it
would keep him distracted long enough to
not notice whats going on.
Good luck!
