Bath time

9 month old, What do you do for bathing? Do they sit up in shallow bath, or lie down or do you bath together? What toys do you use to make it fun. My boy just tends to sit in the shallow bath and has some little animals and cups and will splash about with them a bit. I find washing his hair difficult because he won't tip his head back when trying to rinse the shampoo.

Our little boy sits in a shallow bath. We just have some balls that he likes to try catch, but mostly he’s interested in trying to eat the sponge 😂 the bath is shallow enough that we can lie him back in it, but we just have a jug we use for rinsing and pour the water over him. It’s good for them to get used to water on their face/eyes as it makes them less scared of the water for swimming etc

Sits in a shallow bath with a water Matt underneath or in with us. She has bath toys. When washing shampoo out we have a tug we pour over her, little bits at a time but also gets her used to the water over her eyes x

@Vicky yeah he isn't a fan of it going in his eyes I just worried about the shampoo getting in them. He hates when I try to lie him back same with nappy changes he always sits up mid change 🙈 haha

Yeah we do a shallow bath too, have for a while now as she grew out of the baby bath and seat quite quickly 😅 luckily she's loved a bath from the beginning and very quickly got used to water on her face, so like the others we use a jug for washing her hair, I'm not too precious about water getting on her face as she's fine with it but I do use my hand as a shield for the worst of it. She's so active in the bath that washing her is a sport but we manage 😂 We have a thing that sticks on the side that you put water in and it flows through that she likes, a bath book and loadssss of balls and ducks 😂

We shower together, he just sits in the bottom of the shower tray x

I use a baby bath still as we don’t have a bath. He plays with the water jug mostly. Loves trying to catch the water if I pour it into the bath. Simple child 😆
