Opinions please...

So we started introducing cows milk in Thursday in her cereal, it's such a small amount as I pour it in, wet the cereal and pour the excess out.

Bath seat

Can anybody recommend a baby bath seat for a baby on the smaller/petite side? I tend to take baby in the bath with me however would like the option to just put her in herself with her bath toys. I’m worried some bath seats I see will be too big and she will slip out(probably just being too paranoid!)😣 8 months old…
