We had tried moving him to the regular tub before then, but he didn't like it. I still use the infant one now, when he's sick and we're doing a steam shower. I'll put him in the infant tub and the sit next to him so we can play while he gets the steam treatment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388658 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 23:07:28 +0000 PawPrints 2388658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she could sit up, and she was getting too big to fit in the infant tub, which fortunately happened at about the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388619 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:40:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2388619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched when she started trying to launch herself out of the baby tub. She could sit up before then but it was easier to fill the little tub- our bathtub takes a while to fill up enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388602 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:30:01 +0000 LindsayLou 2388602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She screamed bloody murder in the baby bathtub. We've been doing baths in the sink since week one and she loves them. I'm going to switch her to the big bathtub once she can sit up reliably, so I don't have to hold her up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388593 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:21:03 +0000 LovelyPlum 2388593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: we never used the infant tub. She was in the big tub from the beginning. Either that, or the shower. We never missed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388580 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:13:04 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2388580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used the big tub the whole time. We just had a seat we used to contain her at first. But once she was good at sitting up on her own, she hated the seat so we've switched to just using the entire bathtub with a bath mat so she doesn't slip and slide.</p> <p>ETA: we did this around 5.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388578 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:12:24 +0000 mfa_lady 2388578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ditched the baby bathtub (we have the Fisher Price whale one) when she could sit up unassisted, because she was trying to climb out of the baby one. YIKES. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388573 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:07:50 +0000 youboots 2388573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T hated the tub. We started showering with her at 6ish weeks. Now she digs the big bathtub and has liked it since about 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388570 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:05:05 +0000 FaithFertility 2388570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still use the tub part of infant tub at 12 months, she is happy and it contains her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtub-vs-infant-bathtub#post-2388568 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:03:41 +0000 MrsBrewer 2388568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you switch from the baby bathtub vs going into the big full bathtub? Was it a certain age/milestone? </p>
