She looooves bathing with him. Washing him, etc. Until he either 1) grabs her toy 2) gets in the way of the water stream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428912 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:28:47 +0000 Andrea 2428912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do joint baths because DD1 was already showering, but now I do joint showers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428894 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:19:49 +0000 babynumber1 2428894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just started at 4 months. The baby sits in her bumbo seat and the older one is very careful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428883 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:14:14 +0000 Finfan 2428883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 was a newborn and we have continued it since (11 weeks). DH or I sit in the tub with her and bathe her during DD1's bath. We use our jetted tub (jets off while baby is in there) so plenty of room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428870 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:08:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2428870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I have never seen that tub before- so smart! I hate bending over into the deep tub! Alas we already have the basic blue one and probably won't buy something new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428865 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:05:50 +0000 twodoghouse 2428865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are twins, but we started at 7.5 months when they were sitting really steadily. We didn't have to worry about an older sibling trampling the little one, though, since their the same age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428860 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:03:19 +0000 mrsjyw 2428860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: summer infant right height bath tub! We used the fisher price blue tub when they were newborns though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428854 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:01:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2428854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @mrsjyw: what baby run do you guys have that you can fit both in there? G is only a month and I'm still bathing her in a basin in the kitchen sink (easier than bending over the tub). Our baby tub is pretty big and wouldn't leave much room for the toddler in the big tub- and I think our bathtub is pretty big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428845 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:59:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2428845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was really early on, like you said with the baby tub in the tub with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428843 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:58:42 +0000 yin 2428843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe around 7 months. They love taking baths together. Lately it has been easier to give LO1 a shower and to do a quick bath with LO2. Of course LO2 has been protesting baths because of it. As soon as he realized that both would be bathing together, he happily got in the tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-your-los-when-you-started-joint-baths#post-2428836 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:56:40 +0000 mrsjyw 2428836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 is just over 3 and DS2 is 6 months and sitting up on his own now. He is still in the babytub, but we've put it in the big bath, so they're "bathing" together! :P DS1 loves it!</p> <p>We'll probably wait just a bit longer to get rid of the baby tub.</p> <p>How old were your LOs when you were able to do baths together? </p>
