That's great advice! Now I have a bunch of things to try! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time#post-1701251 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 05:17:56 +0000 LiveLove 1701251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same situation with deep tubs as the only option. When my son was that age we were struggling with him sliding in the tub when he sat and trying to stand up. We ended up getting a bath seat that suctioned to the bottom and kept him in place-he loved it. Since we knew we would never be out of sight while in the seat/bath we weren't concerned about the seats safety, and we figured it was safer than him standing in the tub and falling down. Now that he's bigger and likes to move around in the tub we just make sure we have a bath mat securely attached to the bottom. One trick that has helped with him sliding is (he likes the running water) we leave the drain open and water partially running once he's had a quick soak. That gives us a chance to soap him up and get him rinsed (we use a little bowl). If all else fails, we throw on shorts and stand in the tub with him. Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time#post-1701218 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:40:41 +0000 anonysquire 1701218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a giant jacuzzi tub that I adore . Every night at 10:30 I climb right in with ZuZu. Also I have an extra bimbo just for baths. I know it says not to be used for a bath seat but I keep both hands on it at all ties and rest it on my legs. Anyways I feel like we handle bath time safely with a slippery little 3 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time#post-1701213 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:12:01 +0000 Espion 1701213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I echo the laundry basket. That's what we did for awhile. (Now he wants to chase toys and splash too much to be confined.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time#post-1701210 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:03:28 +0000 sera_87 1701210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it a water depth thing or a reaching thing? If it's a water depth thing you could always put a laundry basket in there and bathe him in that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time#post-1701198 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:43:08 +0000 Ginabean3 1701198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could sit in the tub with him? I once gave LO a bath in my SIL's jacuzzi tub and it was hard! I ended up getting all wet I wish I just got in the tub.</p> <p>And I don't mean you need to be bathing too, you could wear shorts and just stand/squat in the tub with him? And if you have a detachable sprayer that might be helpful too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time#post-1701192 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:38:28 +0000 greenebee 1701192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Whew! Longest time since I've posted here!</p> <p>Quick question: my family just moved into our first (owned) home! In our place, we have two full bathrooms - however (and don't get me wrong, this is awesome and we love it!) both bathrooms have deep, jacuzzi tubs. My LO is almost ten months old (!) and he's 21 pounds so we typically give him his bath sitting on a mat to stabilize him in the tub (we have the standard infant tub, but figured he's big enough to enjoy the big tub). </p> <p>Because our new tubs are deep, we're finding it difficult to feel safe giving him his bath in them. Of course, it goes without saying that we never EVER leave him alone in the tub. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions or solutions that you could share with me? Or should I bathe him in the infant tub?</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any advice! </p>
