At 21 months my son doesn't need the saddle, but the inflatable tub makes it comfy for him to lay back and sprawl out like he's at the spa.</p> <p> <a href="https://amzn.com/B003AO6ZQ6" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.com/B003AO6ZQ6</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564867 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:40:39 +0000 travellingbee 2564867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up doing the kitchen sink and now that he can sit in it he liked it!

The sink is another great option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564752 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:46:49 +0000 travellingbee 2564752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions. We don't have a traditional baby tub- it's really more like a sling that makes them recline. I might have to get a foam bath mat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564704 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:47:28 +0000 BSB 2564704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished giving the twins a bath and we are still using our infant bath (4moms) with foam cushion. Both sat up when I put them in the infant tub (it was because the back of the foam mat was still cold). Anyway, it worked, I was able to wash their backs. I did end up wetting the back foam and they laid back down to finish the rest of their bath. </p> <p>You could buy a foam mat (from Amazon) and it might help them sit while using your infant tub still. </p> <p>Summer Infant Comfy Bath Sponge <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H953Y2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XiFwxb1AZGRMQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H953Y2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XiFwxb1AZGRMQ</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564683 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:28:51 +0000 macintosh 2564683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used this at that age: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0018Z8CN8?pc_redir=T1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0018Z8CN8?pc_redir=T1</a></p> <p>He can recline when you need him him to and when he's ready he can sit up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564679 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:24:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 2564679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a cushiony non slip mat to put in the tub while they are still unsteady from Bed Bath &amp; Beyond, it's so easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564677 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:24:02 +0000 MenagerieMama 2564677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bathed LO in the kitchen sink at that age so she really didn't have the space to tip into the water. Once she was a very confident sitter we moved to the tub. I had a little bathmat I put in the sink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564676 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:23:42 +0000 Kemma 2564676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just let him sit in the baby bath? As long the bottom isn't too slippery and you're right there he should be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564661 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:12:28 +0000 KT326 2564661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would only put a couple inches of water in the bathtub, then put a large hand towel on the bottom and he would sit on that. I felt like it kept him a bit more steady. I would either sit on the edge of the bath tub with my feet in or kneel and lean over. Baths at that age were pretty quick for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564640 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 16:49:53 +0000 wrkbrk 2564640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Can you wash him in the sink?

T hated baths but loved showers at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ideas-for-bathtime#post-2564635 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 16:44:26 +0000 travellingbee 2564635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My five-month-old hates the baby bath- he is a fairly steady sitter and only wants to be sitting in the bath. However I don't feel comfortable enough with his sitting skills to put him in the bath by himself. He doesn't like laying down in his baby bath and I have been getting in the bath with him. But I'm wondering if someone has another idea since it's a pain to have to get in the bath every time I want to give him a bath. I had seen these bath ring things at one point that you could sit baby in but apparently they have been recalled. Any other life hacks for this situation? What do y'all use? </p>
