I was tired of bending over for baths so I bought a hand held shower head with an extra long hose off of Amazon. She was afraid of showers before but now she loves them because either one of us can control the water and make it her height. It's soooo much faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595805 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 15:40:37 +0000 caterw 2595805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: my DD hates "the rain" too hahahaha. She is 2.5 and takes mostly baths but if she is really dirty I bring her in the shower with me for a quick rinse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595786 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 14:40:48 +0000 Bubbles 2595786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baths only for the baby, but DS1 (2.5) has started getting into showers recently. Definitely makes things quicker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595732 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 08:29:32 +0000 Anagram 2595732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids take both at 3 and 11.5 months old. Like, I literally turn the shower on and stop up the tub, so they can sit and splash or run under the spray. They think it's like an indoor splash pad, haha. I also give the older one a squirt gun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595730 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 08:09:02 +0000 yin 2595730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kids take both. They adjusted to showers this summer since we have been going to the pool so often. It's just easier to spray them down. They still enjoy baths and playing in the tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595727 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 07:50:13 +0000 sandy 2595727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 4.5 and pretty much always took a bath. She loved it and it was a nice end to the day but it did mean starting bedtime pretty early. Just in the last 2-3 weeks she decided she wanted showers and it is so much faster! We have a shower head that you can take off and hold and she loves to hold it while I wash her hair and scrub her clean. I just leave the curtain part way closed. Then she likes to rinse herself and I let her have a turn scrubbing herself clean with soap. So much faster and a lot easier for my pregnant body bc there's no leaning over the bathtub! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595704 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 06:34:41 +0000 SweetiePie 2595704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baths, but when we're on vacation or home in a hurry and one of us also has to shower, we just throw him in with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595653 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 01:24:53 +0000 LindsayLou 2595653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both, at 11 months. During the week, if she's awake when I take my shower, she showers with me. On the weekend and the occasional weeknight, she takes a bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2595627 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 21:29:32 +0000 Iced Tea 2595627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 months. She takes a shower with me. If my husband is doing the routine, he gives her a bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594871 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:41:08 +0000 chopsuey 2594871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers!

When my husband does bedtime, he insists on a shower, so about half and half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594802 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 18:18:48 +0000 Andrea 2594802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers, way easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594594 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:55:38 +0000 Giraffe 2594594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 year old: started hating water on his hair/face during baths about 6 months ago, will now tolerate showers</p> <p>7 month old: baths only.</p> <p>C (older) has started asking to help with J (baby)'s baths, which mainly means bringing over all the toys - no room in the baby tub, but very sweet! Last night he asked for a bath. in the big tub after his shower so he could play with the toys. Once J is sitting better on his own I think they'll have fun taking baths together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594557 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:31:03 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2594557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baths. They like having time to play around in the tub. We've done showers when we just need a quick rinse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594530 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:17:23 +0000 ustechie 2594530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old will do either, but my 19 month old only gets baths. We have a removable shower head though- I think it makes a world of a difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594521 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:12:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 2594521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 month - bath<br /> almost 4 - it's 50/50 between whether she chooses shower or bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594518 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:10:50 +0000 pregnantbee 2594518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers only.

She hates "the rain!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594448 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:32:47 +0000 PurplePeony 2594448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers, she decided a few months ago that she hates baths. She usually just gets in with me and we shower together, but she sometimes takes a solo(ish) shower at night if she's really dirty (we keep the curtain partway open and either DH or I sits on the side of the tub to supervise and help her wash her hair, but don't actually get in). She's a little over 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594300 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:23:55 +0000 petunia354 2594300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3.5 and gets showers almost exclusively, on his own. We help him wash his hair but he is in the shower by himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594249 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 09:49:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 2594249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4, and still baths.

Occasionally I have DH hand me the baby at the end of my shower so I can rinse her quickly. And sometimes when I say I'm going to take a shower my 3 yo says she wants to too, so I bring her with me and she whines the whole time, but gets clean. </p> <p>But they love taking baths together so I usually do that. It's so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-or-shower-1#post-2594181 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 08:58:45 +0000 youboots 2594181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months- either.
