Once we brought her tub and all of her bath toys and she still refused to get in. She screamed and clutched to me like I was trying to put her in acid. So if it's a one nighter we skip bath. If it's longer ill take her in the shower with me. She doesn't like that either, but it's much easier because I'm holding her so I have some control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799754 Wed, 22 May 2013 07:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 799754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: Saw it on Pintrest. Seems to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799751 Wed, 22 May 2013 07:22:43 +0000 autumn865 799751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or I just asked this on FB and a friend mentioned that she bought a plastic laundry basket and put a towel on the bottom and then filled the big tub and put her LO in the basket. Has anyone tried this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799742 Wed, 22 May 2013 07:14:45 +0000 Thenetexan 799742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH or I got in the bath with LO when we vacationed at 9 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799712 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:50:13 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 799712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: Consider me your beta tester. It works and is a fraction of the cost. Just put a hand towel behind baby for confort and one lining the bottom for tush cushion. Viola! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799711 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:50:04 +0000 mediagirl 799711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: At 9 months, I was bathing with M. We would run a low tub and I would hop in with her. That way, I could support her if she toppled and I felt comfortable with her in the water. Maybe try that instead of taking a big ol' tub with you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799693 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:35:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 799693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going on vacation this week to Disney and I'm debating bringing the inflatable tub or not. I may just sit her on a hand towel and move quickly haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799681 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:24:13 +0000 edelweiss 799681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: that's a great idea, since they sell those special baby bucket tubs for $40 or something, but a regular bucket would probably do just as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799680 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:24:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 799680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just goes in the bath with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799677 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:21:55 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 799677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: This may sound odd but if you're in a crunch and don't have a water slimg when you need it, go out and buy a bucket. Depending on a kid's size, could be great - no place to slip from since the sides are so close to LO, less likely to have too much water, and fairly easy to find short notice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799675 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:17:39 +0000 edelweiss 799675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're going to my sister's place in the summer and plan on using the kitchen sink. if i weren't comfortable doing that, i would put LO in the bathtub (and have me or my husband get in there with him for support), or if no bathtub, buy a water mesh sling and take a shower with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799672 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:14:11 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 799672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kitchen sink! But maybe it's a Southern thing. I still give my son (15 months) baths in the kitchen sink when we're on a time crunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799671 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:12:04 +0000 Weagle 799671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just sits in the tub. We sometimes put a folded towel on the bottom to make it more grippy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bath-time-and-travel-what-do-you-do#post-799662 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:04:59 +0000 autumn865 799662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be spending a long weekend at DH's parents beach house for Memorial Day and was wondering what we should do for bath time. My LO is almost 9 months and uses her bath chair in her baby bath. Should we bring the whole baby bath? What do you do when traveling? </p>
