I never considered a need for a second with a baby on the way. Unless you can afford to do so at this time, I would not renovate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447468 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 06:50:46 +0000 MrsH 1447468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would renovate especially if money was tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447465 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 06:49:07 +0000 yellowbird 1447465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the guest bath for lo, but only because it's closer to her room and easier. I don't think we would have to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447443 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 05:59:13 +0000 Anagram 1447443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mirage: if you have the money and the bathroom has the space -- renovate. I think tubs look better to future homebuyers. </p> <p>We bathe our LO in the other bathroom (not our master bathroom) because it's closer to her bedroom and so we can leave her baby tub in there all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447410 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 02:43:04 +0000 lamariniere 1447410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until recently, we were using an ikea baby tub in our big bathtub. Our tub us pretty big, so I would hate to waste all that water just filling it a few inches. These days DS takes more showers than baths though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447360 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:26:13 +0000 birdofafeather 1447360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have one bathroom/tub but my friends with 3 boys always have their kids bathe in their bathroom even though the boys have a tub too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447340 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:04:09 +0000 googly-eyes 1447340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo has a separate tub. Makes it easier to keep clean. But it wouldn't be a house deal-breaker to me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447338 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:02:47 +0000 red_seattle 1447338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If money is tight, then no, a separate bath tub isn't necessary. We've done fine with just having 1 in the house and X is almost 2.5. BUT, now that we're at the point that he has a collection of bath toys, I do sometimes imagine what it's like to take a shower where you don't have to remove all the Thomas the Tanks and rubber duckies and boats out of the way first. And, I can't say it helps with romance much either, if you should happen to be the feeling frisky in the tub/shower type. Obviously, neither of these things are major concerns, but if I had a choice, we'd totally have a separate kids tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447270 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 22:55:18 +0000 lemondrop 1447270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always just use ours since it is most convenient. One thing I do love having is a detachable shower head since it makes rinsing him much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447263 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 22:51:26 +0000 wheres_c 1447263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3 bathrooms with Tubs, but we always bath him in ours because its nicer and bigger </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447122 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 21:07:52 +0000 Smurfette 1447122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bath R in the hall bathroom cause we have 4 bathrooms, but only one tub in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447095 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:57:50 +0000 lovehoneybee 1447095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 18 months old and we've managed just fine with one, non en-suite shared bathtub. I can see where it might be nice in the future, when the kids are older, but it's not something I would spend the money on now, when money is tight, it'd be something I might put a little bit aside for every month and reno in the future. My niece is 13 years old and I swear she could easily spend two hours reading in the tub! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447079 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:52:57 +0000 mamimami 1447079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No tubs at all in our house! We used a puj and then an inflatable tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447074 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:51:19 +0000 MamaMoose 1447074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never bathed LO in the spare bathroom, always in our tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447070 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:49:38 +0000 avivoca 1447070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not really important to have separate tubs, in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447057 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:45:42 +0000 immabeetoo 1447057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mm sorry, our only tub is in our attached bathroom and we have no issues with it! It's not like LO is ever bathing when one of us asleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/importance-of-babys-own-bathtub#post-1447042 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:35:30 +0000 Mirage 1447042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So a totally random question. We currently have an on-suite bathroom with a tub. But our other bathroom that would make the most sense as the kids bathroom, only has a shower.. I would love to renovate it, but I need a good excuse since money is tight now </p>
