I don't remember exactly when. I sat in the tub with him at first so I didn't have to worry about him falling over or trying to stand up/climb out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2120386 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 17:01:06 +0000 mauxie 2120386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1-- around 7 months.<br /> LO2-- around 9-10 months.. when he was sitting up well enough to bathe with big sis and deal with her splashes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119995 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 13:17:53 +0000 Madison43 2119995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: same and my LO is 17 months. The primo is huge so she has plenty of room. I can't imagine filling the big tub every night for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119961 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 12:57:35 +0000 catomd00 2119961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the primo euro tub in the big tub still at 13 months. No plan on ditching it any time soon. It's way easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119955 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 12:56:19 +0000 looch 2119955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: your husband and I are cut from the same cloth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119954 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 12:55:35 +0000 looch 2119954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, we used the baby tub until my son was 2! I didn't want to fill up the large tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119863 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:54:46 +0000 jhd 2119863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11 months. We have been using the infant tub inside the big tub but I'm getting ready to try him in the big tub because he moves around so much in the little tub--not standing so much as spinning around or leaning out of it to reach toys he throws etc. I got a non slip mat for the tub from Ikea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119819 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:37:29 +0000 Bubbles 2119819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a bath, so LO is still crammed into the baby tub at 15 months. He doesn't know any better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119816 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:36:24 +0000 NeekieRose 2119816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 5 months when she could sit up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119803 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:28:16 +0000 chanada 2119803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 2.5 and is still in baby tub too. I agree it saves a lot of water. We are moving in a week so we are thinking of getting rid of the tub then and trying the regular tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119741 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:01:00 +0000 blackbird 2119741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the real tub at 6 months. For a few weeks, I would sit in the tub with her to help stabilize her, by 7 months she was fine by herself. We had a puj before </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119738 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:58:45 +0000 avivoca 2119738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used an infant tub. We laid her on a bath sponge in the big tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119712 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:50:50 +0000 sunny 2119712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 2.5 and still in the baby tub! It saves so much water. We actually bought a bigger baby tub because she outgrew her initial one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119705 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:48:39 +0000 danda 2119705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched at 18 months but our daughter didn't want to! She seemed like she was getting a little big for the baby one though. I hate how much more water we use now and how she now stands up in the tub all the time, since she does occasionally slip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119687 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:41:39 +0000 Anagram 2119687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned super late--around 17-18 months--heck, my husband still prefers the tiny tub! LO doesn't mind it, and he thinks it saves so much water. But when I do bath time, it's always the big tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119684 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:40:37 +0000 Mamasig 2119684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 - we quit the baby tub around 6-7 months when he could sit up well. I did buy a mat for the tub to make it less slippery.</p> <p>DS2 is 10 months and we never used a baby tub. I bathed him in the big tub from the start using a sling chair thing. Now we still use it but he does try to stand and move around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119682 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:39:56 +0000 jape14 2119682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just ditched the infant tub last week when my LO was 6.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119640 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:24:40 +0000 MapleMoose 2119640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the infant tub in the bathtub. LO1 was standing and climbing out of the infant tub around 5/6 months so we stopped using it. We haven't used the infant tub at all for LO2. We just bathe them together, although LO2 is really quick while LO1 plays for a long time in the tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119639 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:23:47 +0000 Smurfette 2119639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved the infant tub, minus the sling, into the big tub, around 6/7 months. Then we switched to just the tub around 10 months, I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119638 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:23:19 +0000 coopsmama 2119638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months with both kids - whenever they were able to sit unassisted for long periods of time. That said I never left their side, even to turn around for half a second! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119629 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:20:48 +0000 Alivoo01 2119629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lil before he turned 1, I just used the regular tub. He seemed so big in the infant tub! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119627 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:19:11 +0000 Jass 2119627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is also 10 month old and we have been placing it in bathroom tub because she splashes water alot but she is also trying to stand in it so its days are almost over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119625 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:18:40 +0000 mrsjyw 2119625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned really late, I think 15 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119624 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:18:18 +0000 CakeLady 2119624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used a baby tub. We used a big baby bath sponge with about an inch of water in our regular tub and now at almost 10 months he just sits in the regular tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-tub-vs-regular-tub#post-2119614 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:16:10 +0000 BabyTsMom 2119614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you start using your regular bathtub for bath time? My Lo is 10 mo and we still use our plastic fisher price tub but he's starting to want to stand up in it, so I'm thinking of just using our tub. Or putting the plastic one inside the real one. when did you make the switch? </p>
