Beautiful illustrations, too. We just pick her up and out after the plug is pulled. Bedtime gets tough once they figure out how to stall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-bath-time-take#post-2337746 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:55:38 +0000 yellowbird 2337746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I haven't heard of that book, but I will look into it! Usually I tell her I am pulling the plug and she can play until all the water drains out. That has helped a bit but she still stalls forever and will basically not let dh or I wash her and gets mad at us!</p> <p>I think it also stems from being overtired because her naps have been crappy and we've been getting home later lately. It's terrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-bath-time-take#post-2337739 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:45:12 +0000 Silva 2337739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you read King Bidgood by Audrey wood? Kind bid goods in the bathtub and he won't get out! Who knows what to do?<br /> Spoiler alert: the page pulls the plug.</p> <p>We play that "game" wi my daughter, and usually she will go along with it and pull the plug. Also, we give her a few raisins when she gets out, so we can remind her of that to motivate her to move it along! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-bath-time-take#post-2337736 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:43:13 +0000 travellingbee 2337736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15ish minutes. He loves to play in the tub too and it's hard getting him out without a fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-bath-time-take#post-2337731 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:38:15 +0000 Torchwood 2337731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4mo, probably 20 minutes from turning the water on to fully dressed and cuddled up to get good and warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-bath-time-take#post-2337730 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:37:15 +0000 buttermilk 2337730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-10 mins start to finish for my 10 week old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-bath-time-take#post-2337717 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:25:59 +0000 californiadreams 2337717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, depending how much fun DS is having and how much we want to hurry it along or let him play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-bath-time-take#post-2337716 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:24:19 +0000 yellowbird 2337716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on a bath time roll. For my infant it's really not too bad: maybe 5-10 minutes after I get the water the right temp and his clothes off. My toddler on the other hand is a nightmare! I can never get her out of the tub and she screams at me when I try to wash her because she's too busy playing. It takes 20-25 minutes most of the time. </p> <p>I try showers with her which are faster but she still stalls and complains. It's such a chore! I wish I could speed it up because it delays bedtime. </p>
