She loves the big tub. She likes to practice kicking. She really likes having that extra room to play with all her bath toys too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-858204 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:27:22 +0000 MaisyMay 858204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has always had her bath in the big tub. For now we either get in with her or let her lay in the tub. She's 5 1/2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-858198 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:23:46 +0000 mrskc 858198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw sorry it was rough!</p> <p>We transitioned him a few weeks ago out of his baby tub and we're using the laundry basket in the big tub trick. Works great and he loves the extra space! He's 8 months today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-858187 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:21:33 +0000 wheres_c 858187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww! Sorry it was so rough. Our LO has been in the regular tub from the start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-857665 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 07:26:35 +0000 regberadaisy 857665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 13 months and I have no plans to!! She has a pretty big "baby" tub. Already she wants to get out and walk everywhere. Give her more room? No thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-856975 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:04:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 856975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 12 months and we just transitioned her into the big tub a few weeks ago. We tried about a month ago but she fought it and was so upset each night (which upset me because she LOVES bath time) that I put her back into the little tub. </p> <p>What helped with the transition was getting her a mat to sit on (one of the non-slip type mats that suctions to the bottom of the tub) and a pool type floatie toy that went around her middle. She sort of sat in/on the floatie toy for a few nights, and was ok, so I then tried just the big tub. Now she's great with just the big tub; no tears and back to 45 minute baths! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-856915 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:50:38 +0000 hilsy85 856915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's almost 8 months and I think we need to make the switch...he's trying to pull up and stand in his baby tub. We need to get a bath mat first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-856862 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:38:23 +0000 jmarionsmith 856862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lo is 9 months old and we do the same with the mini tub in the big tub. i don't see us transitioning any time soon for several reasons. the mini tub puts him up a little higher so we don't have to break our backs to bathe him, it uses wayyy less water. and it's a lot easier to clean than the big tub.</p> <p>as an aside, lo also hates any form of bath that isn't exactly like he is used to. we tried to bathe him in the sink on vacation and he just screamed the entire time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-856788 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:25:32 +0000 lovehoneybee 856788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I transitioned him right after he started sitting up by himself, around 6 months. He loves the big tub! He especially loves to pull up in it, lol. He pulled up for the very first time IN the tub and almost gave me a heart attack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-when-they-transitioned-to-the-big-tub#post-856760 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:21:22 +0000 heffalump 856760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 22 months and we finally put her in the big tub tonight. She has a mini tub that we put in the big tub. She is always so awful with change, especially if it has to do with bath in a different place. She screams even if we bring her tub to a hotel, with all her toys.</p> <p>But tonight we bit the bullet. The bad news..... She screamed, tried to climb out, and was absolutely terrified. The good news, we were finally able to distract her enough to sit down and forget she was in the big tub :) </p>
