ThTs what I do sometimes anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1594168 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 22:23:19 +0000 Mamasig 1594168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I am really tired and he isn't totally stinky, we skip it. </p> <p>Other times, I just sit on the floor next to him and let him mostly play after I give him a quick run down. Not much else I can do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1594133 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 22:01:26 +0000 Running Elley 1594133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh it was horrible. I do all baths. They were just fast and uncomfortable unfortunately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1594116 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 21:46:30 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1594116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I can't bathe LO, I just let him get in with me. He stands and I am not tall so I barely bend at all to scrub his hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1594113 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 21:44:39 +0000 Andrea 1594113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My back just killed me Monday - Thursday, but I just sucked it up. DH did baths during the weekend. I don't like to skip baths and my kids don't like skipping either! She didn't want to take a shower back then so that was out. Not sure it would have helped much anyway. There is always the option of bathing with them, but I never got into that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593940 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 19:52:37 +0000 GrapeCrush 1593940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: hose her off before she comes in ;)<br /> I'm sure she'd love that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593841 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 18:46:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1593841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: haha LO loves showers!!! but honestly showers with her are more awkward for me pregnant than leaning over a tub. </p> <p>@Beebug: what's a sailor shower? </p> <p>@GrapeCrush: you know his schedule, sometimes it can be back to back.</p> <p> I'm worried about summer time when it's hot and she gets sweaty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593805 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 18:15:15 +0000 GrapeCrush 1593805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id skip baths if it was just me. Can you get in with her, if you don't want to skip? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593792 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:59:06 +0000 Cole 1593792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't actually been in your shoes so this might not help but two thoughts are- try giving them showers, some toddlers love it and while it might not be perfect it might suffice until your husband can help. I would go so far as to try to teach them to wash their own hair and bodies and then just count on getting wet to help rinse their hair. Idea two is to go back to the kitchen sink, you might need to do one at a time but if you have a decent size sink and a sprayer it actually works beautifully with toddlers. I literally used to bring a wiggly two year old in from the yard covered in dirt and let him bathe there and it was awesome for everyone involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593786 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:51:44 +0000 matador84 1593786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I dreaded bath night. When I was huge I had to resort to a washcloth rub down because I couldn't do the lifting and leaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593784 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:50:54 +0000 autumnlove 1593784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as PP or really quick baths. Didn't give her "fun" baths from the end of my 1st Tri until I was 1 month PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593777 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:44:22 +0000 tysonja 1593777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>to be perfectly honest... same as above -- we skip baths when DH isn't home to do them!</p> <p>I think I bathed LO once while super pregnant, it was kind of awkward and hurt my back, but it got done! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593773 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:41:28 +0000 Beebug 1593773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skip bath nights when DH isn't home if she doesn't seem too dirty from daycare, and do a sailor's shower with her lately. When I was less pregnant I found elevating myself on a stool, case of pop, something made it easier on the body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-bathing-lo-while-pregnant#post-1593766 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:34:19 +0000 regberadaisy 1593766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's starting to get to that point where it's uncomfortable to bathe LO.</p> <p>Moms of two or more: Got any tips? </p> <p>DH works 2-3 nights a week so unfortunately he can't do all bath time. :P </p>
