Both hate to get their hair washed. The oldest gives me the most difficulty with the hair washing. Soooo dramatic! maddyz on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2469564 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 22:12:20 +0000 maddyz 2469564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Right now standing up in the bath holding onto the faucet and moving the little knob that makes the water come out of the show up and down. The water is off. He is totally obsessed. Lo is 12 months. I am hoping his interest will wain and he will sit in the tub again.... He loves bath time. His current oversees just makes me crazy trying to make sure he doesn't slip.

Usually he's in his own bath, sometimes in the shower with us and today I got in the bath with him and he had a ball!

They both cry when I wash their hair :meh: DS takes showers during the week. He does a decent job alone (at nearly 7 years old)...but I scrub him once he tells me he's "done". He usually has long baths on the weekends though.

He's 10, so he does it because he stinks. The little ones take baths and they both love them. Especially the (almost) 3 year old. She'd stay in for hours if I'd let her. clover on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2468371 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:52:32 +0000 clover 2468371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost 3 year old will happily take a shower if mama washes him, he is in a stage where he doesn't want daddy helping with anything for him. He hasn't taken a bath in at least 4 months now. The 3 month old is a pure water baby and loves baths.

It just takes so much longer to fill the whole big tub! travellingbee on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2468347 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:10:02 +0000 travellingbee 2468347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 3yo loves baths and its hard to get him out. (Although he doesn't like his hair being washed). He also likes those color drops that @Smurfette: mentioned. 6 week old HATES it and screams bloody murder the whole time. LO1 was the same way as an infant. I can't remember what age he started liking it. pregnantbee on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2468268 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 19:33:50 +0000 pregnantbee 2468268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We usually have him take a shower with one of us every other morning or so....he's fine with it, but sometimes freaks out if I dare to put soap in his hair!

He has so much fun splashing in the FP whale tub. We could probably move him into our big soaker tub, the infant tub sits in it anyway, but it takes a lot of water, and he's happy in his whale.

She hates getting cold when she gets out, so we put a space heater in the bathroom and it's fine. We bathe/shower with her.

But she also showers with one of us at least 1x a week.

She's been really good at not splashing or getting too wild while the baby is in the tub, then I take the baby out and wrap her up so the toddler can splash and be a little crazier. I don't think it's any faster but it entertains them both and gets them both clean and then it's bedtime :grin: hellobeeboston on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2468023 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 15:05:41 +0000 hellobeeboston 2468023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ baths/showers are a big hit with LO 1.... i feel like all we've been doing is bathing since both kids were sick so we had a lot of steam time in the bathroom together. Lately we will shower with LO 1 (3 yo) then get out and turn it into a bath for him, he loooooooooves the water, so if we're bored we usually decide to bathe.

It totally makes things easier! nana87 on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2467910 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:27:56 +0000 nana87 2467910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ oh my gosh, bath time is so hit or miss these days. she either will scream the entire time or refuse to get out until the water's all cold and she's turning into a prune.

We tried the "crayons" to color on the bathtub but mostly they just made a goopy mess. This would be fun though!

S likes bathtime except for getting his hair rinsed. He's 2.5. At what age do kids start helping to wash themselves? I'm starting to introduce the concept, but obviously he still needs us to do it if he's going to actually get clean. MOMTOLITTLEB on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2467829 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 12:12:17 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2467829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He is 2 and loves his bath but it's a problem getting him out. He tries to swim away and is so squirmy I worry he'll get hurt. Then he absolutely hates getting his eczema lotion put on but he needs it.

It's a big, jetted tub but we leave the jets off.

Sometimes when we aren't in the mood for bath time we have to bribe them with something else so they stop bugging us for one. KT326 on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2467806 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:54:06 +0000 KT326 2467806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He loves baths and showers. Baths often last 25-30 minutes as long as the water is warm. He likes to take showers too and will often take one with me after I work out in the evenings. lovehoneybee on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2467799 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:50:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 2467799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pretty good. He's loving them more since G was born, because I give her a bath at the same time. He likes me to put her infant tub up against the big tub, and always puts his rubber ducky in her tub. He doesn't take showers at all, but he did let me turn it on for about 15 seconds to rinse off last night...and then said "okay I'm all done taking a shower now" but it's an improvement over the screaming we used to get when we tried (he'll totally take a shower with my FIL, though, but they have a HUGE shower (not a combo). sleepybear on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2467794 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:45:26 +0000 sleepybear 2467794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ As little as possible and with lots and lots of tears :sad: It's like a switch flipped around 17 months and now when he knows it's bath time he runs away crying and hides. So we're taking quick showers together and he cries the whole time.

The only problem is she is pulling up on everything now (including the bathtub edge) which is a big slip hazard during bath time. Alivoo01 on "How are your kids bathing these days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-your-kids-bathing-these-days#post-2466556 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:58:12 +0000 Alivoo01 2466556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DS is totally loving bath time right now. He's 2.5. He was a HUGE fan of showers a few months back, but prefers the bath again recently. Silly.
