How do you rinse your baby after a bath?

May seem like a silly question but how is everyone rinsing their baby after a bath with fresh water? Since birth I kept a jug of warm water on the side, I’d hold her and my husband would pour the water over her. Well she’s getting bigger (4months) and I tried to do the bath on my own ( I can’t wait on my husband each time) I held her and poured the water and she slipped! It’s not from a height so she was totally fine but I freaked out and cried with her staring at me like ‘what happened?’😂😭 What’s a safer way of doing this on my own? Xx

I don't rinse my baby never heard of that before. But if I was going to I'd use the shower head while he's in his angel care bath seat. If she's in some kind of bath seat just empty bath then rinse her?

@Tanya i was always told to rinse off bath water so not to leave soap residue on baby or around their genital areas to avoid any irritation. So it’s just in my mind now that I have to rinse her😅 She’s in a baby bath inside the floor of my shower

Never rinsed my boy off either

I’ve never rinsed my LO off after his bath

I place my LG in a bath seat and use the showerhead (on a warm, slow flow) to bathe her directly with fresh water. I haven’t tried using a bathtub yet. This method makes it easier for me to bathe her on my own. Surprisingly, she enjoys it quite a lot!

You can get a little bucket of warm water, and after draining the tub, you can pour warm water. We definitely rinse with fresh water. We find after bath that the water is a little mucky. We give her a bath every alternative day. We have also recently started to use a shower head to bath her and rinse her off

I use the shower head to rinse him at the end, i do the same with my toddler.

I use a bucket of fresh water to rinse her off but I do it while she is sitting on her bath seat.

We use the baby bath on our shower tray. I empty the dirty water then use the shower head to rinse her off and her hair off. She has loads of hair so have to wash it thoroughly as she's got a trick of peeing over herself and her hair when I lift her bum to change her nappy
