Bathing Baby

Hey, I am wondering whether you put your baby in a bath seat when they have a bath or you just hold them. My baby is 8 months and can sit unaided so we hold her but when there is just one of us its hard to hold and wash. I have seen on amazon there are seats you can put in the bath.: What does everyone do?
