Bath time takes way too long because the LO's don't stop playing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1054197 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 21:39:32 +0000 MsLipGloss 1054197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: That sounds like one heck of a partay!</p> <p>@Smurfette: I haven't been pooped on . . . yet! And I get in the tub with her every night! *FX*</p> <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Lol - gives a whole new meaning to *Amber Alert*! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1054045 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:41:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1054045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Haha okay that might be my "too gross" moment! I'm grateful that's never happened, but I rarely get in with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1054038 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:40:00 +0000 Smurfette 1054038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: This is why I don't want to get in the tub with her!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1054033 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:38:56 +0000 Boheme 1054033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @FutureMrsMcK: One time I got in the tub with C because he needed a good scrub down.... 3 minutes later? GIANT poop. Green water. DH laughed at me for hours! I will never try it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1054025 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:37:39 +0000 yoursilverlining 1054025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 6 or 7 months before LO really loved playing with toys in the tub. She's a tub-a-holic: we're in for 45 minutes usually (unless she poops first). I play DJ and spin tunes, she stacks cups, makes waves and dances! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1054011 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:34:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 1054011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I try really hard not to have much of a reaction to it. I just calmly but immediately take him out and tell him bath time is over because he pooped. I don't think he can control it at this point, but if he can I don't want him to do it because it draws a big reaction out of me. </p> <p>And yeah, been peed on more times than I care to admit, slept in a pee puddle covered by a hand towel, pooped on, spit up on...motherhood sure is glamorous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053985 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:29:18 +0000 Smurfette 1053985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I started this week with the water a little warmer cause she seemed cold, so I think it is making her pee. Just waiting for the poop. I know it is a rite of passage for any parent. I have been peed on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053967 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:24:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 1053967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Oh, it's a shockingly common occurrence. Like several times a week. I've tried playing around with his meal/bath times, but no matter what I do, there's usually poop. I think maybe the warm water just gets him going! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053953 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:20:41 +0000 Smurfette 1053953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: haha, or until he poops. The last 4 nights as soon as I put R in that tub she pees. Just glad it isn't poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053950 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:20:28 +0000 MrsF 1053950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 6 months? Just little squirt toys and a rubber ducky. Her bath is usually 10-15 minutes long and she plays the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053932 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:16:45 +0000 lovehoneybee 1053932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 7-8 months. He still mostly just chews on them, but he plays more now too. I let him play until he's done (he'll launch out of the tub!) or until he poops, but it's usually only 10-15 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053927 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:15:28 +0000 chopsuey 1053927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started putting DS in the tub with DD. He loves playing with toys. Usually I'll let him play for 10-15 mins.<br /> (8 months old) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053925 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:15:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 1053925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm . . . maybe around 7 months or so? It started with the little guppy that came with the baby tub (we have the FP whale tub) . . . and that just carried over to the big tub.</p> <p>ETA: I let her play as long as I was bathing her, and then for a few minutes afterward. Now we probably spend 10-15 minutes in the tub together. She loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-in-the-tub#post-1053894 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 20:06:21 +0000 Smurfette 1053894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your LO start playing with toys in the tub? How long do you let them play? </p>
