She's 3 months.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-626124 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 23:15:59 +0000 sandy 626124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 16 months and has always played with those stacking cups during bathtime...but now she has just started trying to drink from them (they have holes at the bottom for the water to drain out but sometimes it doesn't drain fast enough). I take them away when she does it but now she leans over and puts her mouth in the water...not drinking yet but I'm sure that's coming up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-626083 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 22:50:04 +0000 Giraffe 626083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: my little guy does the same thing! Makes me wonder if I should start offering water at other times... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-626079 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 22:47:42 +0000 Running Elley 626079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He definitely tries to! I usually move him when I see him starting but I think it's cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-626075 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 22:46:38 +0000 autumn865 626075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup :) she likes to grab hold of her washcloth and suck the water out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625796 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:54:59 +0000 LittleGBee 625796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. She drinks her dirty bath water and sucks on the washcloths. It's totally gross but I like to tell myself that's why I buy the plant based soap. It makes me feel just slightly better about how gross it is. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625786 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:51:49 +0000 bunnylovesbear 625786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, Johnny does that, too. And he always seems surprised that the water ends up in his mouth. It's pretty funny. But soapy or not, I think it's totally harmless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625781 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:49:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 625781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha okay glad to know it's pretty normal!</p> <p>@sarac: That's what I've started doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625731 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:25:33 +0000 sarac 625731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. I just leave the soap until the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625601 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:40:53 +0000 mrs. wagon 625601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's constantly suckin' on those washcloths!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625576 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:31:52 +0000 Sweet T 625576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so much now, but he did it all the time up until a few months ago. He still loves chewing on washcloths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625573 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:31:02 +0000 autumnlove 625573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she just started! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625548 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:18:59 +0000 sera_87 625548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't drink the bath water because he can't reach it, but definitely give him a wet washcloth to occupy him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625539 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:14:58 +0000 kokobee 625539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! all the time! he also makes the refreshing "ahhh" sound after he drinks it too :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-625073 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:13:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 625073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes haha<br /> He also laps up the water in the shower like a dog. And he looooves to stick his tongue out when I wash his face over the sink so he can slurp up some water. Weird kids! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-624979 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:35:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 624979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO loves to *nom* washcloths . . . I give her a wet washcloth that hasn't been in soapy water, but she will *nom* any washcloth regardless of soapy-ness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-624972 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:33:01 +0000 MaisyMay 624972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. LO is nearly 11 weeks and turns her head and drinks the water. We just laugh and figure it can't hurt her too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-624969 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:31:16 +0000 mrsjazz 624969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doesn't drink the bath water, but she does take the washcloth and chew on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-624931 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:21:09 +0000 Honeybee 624931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids do it, too. I just end the bath if it's soapy water and they won't quit; otherwise, I don't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-624885 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:11:53 +0000 Weagle 624885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It stresses DH out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-624878 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:10:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 624878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes all the time!

Probably totally weird but I love it. I guess maybe just keep being careful he doesn't drink soap and he should be ok :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-try-to-drink-the-bath-water-1#post-624859 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:07:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 624859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every now and then E leans over and slurps up the (non-soapy) bath water! He also likes to chew on a wet washcloth, which my pedi is totally cool with since it's cleaning his teeth. </p> <p>Is this totally weird behavior? Does your LO do it? Should I try harder to stop him? </p>
