When did you stop using a baby bath and move to a regular bath?

Online says they should transition to a regular bath at 6-12 months but surely toys are just going to float away and it's a waste of water

Projectile vomit

So, I gave my nearly 5 month old a bath last night, like we do every night. The only difference is that I got in the bath with her, I picked her up a couple of times.

Spotty baby

My almost 1 month old is spitting up his milk almost every time I feed him from the bottle, EP. I just donā€™t know what to do or why. Heā€™s barely gaining weight and just made his birth weight a week ago. So him spitting up lately isnā€™t helping at all. Weā€™re burping him pretty much every half to full ounce.
