All the other times we have traveled, one of us (usually my husband) will take DD into the shower. </p> <p>I have a weird fear of hotel bathtubs and would not have wanted to put DD in one (I trust my parent's tub because my mom is a neat freak). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1394844 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:47:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1394844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get in or just laid her down in a little water. Usually just got on. She wasn't as slippery as I thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1394466 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:42:01 +0000 lemondrop 1394466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a few months, laziness prevailed and I started putting down a hand towel for his head and letting him lay in the tub with an inch or two of water and splash around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1394443 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:07:13 +0000 QBbride 1394443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put a towel on the bottom of the tub and just filled with a bit of water and let him kick around like that.</p> <p>Or if we stayed at hotel with no tub, I'd shower with him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1394423 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 23:54:17 +0000 skibobrown 1394423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get in the bath with my daughter. That way I could hold onto her, and it felt much safer that way. DH was on hand, so I could hand her off when she was all clean. Otherwise, I would lay a soft bathmat down, and wrap her up in a towel on the mat while I was getting out myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393882 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:11:43 +0000 Boheme 1393882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The inflatable duck tub from Target is awesome :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393870 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:00:36 +0000 rachiecakes 1393870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had an inflatable one, but I've also used the sink when traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393862 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:46:49 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1393862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on the type of trip and where we're staying, we either just took the tub or I would climb in the tub and just hold them in my lap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393858 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:42:56 +0000 cyan 1393858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the inflatable duck tub (Munchkin brand, I think). It is perfect for travel and much more compact to take along than a bath seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393856 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:41:55 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1393856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ask the hotel, they might have one. When we are in Hawaii we got a tub, pack n play and j&amp;j shampoo packet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393849 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:36:21 +0000 MamaJ 1393849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I held him in the shower. But after reading this thread I really wish I had an inflatable tub. It was a pain because he was so slippery and he hated it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393812 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:02:43 +0000 ALV91711 1393812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 10 months and we use the kitchen sink. Way easier for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393800 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:54:18 +0000 Pepper 1393800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Inflatable duck tub! It's $11 at Target. Worked like a charm when we traveled a few months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393795 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:47:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 1393795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got in the tub with her and Dh helped clean her and wrap her up after. But we only gave her one bath while we were away anyway. We were flying so no way we were bringing an extra thing.</p> <p>ETA: She was 5 months at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393777 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:29:11 +0000 lamariniere 1393777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393750 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:10:05 +0000 winniebee 1393750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started bathing with him at a young age and still do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393741 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:06:03 +0000 swedishfish 1393741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@juliem: she's just so slippery that I get worried. :silly: Plus we will be traveling with my ILs and I've heard my MIL tell the story where my FIL dropped my BIL in the bathtub as a baby too many times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393730 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:56:45 +0000 LilacWine 1393730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could bring her in the shower with you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393729 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:54:29 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1393729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put a thick towel on the bottom of the bath, fill the tub with just an inch of water or so, and kind of do a sponge bath.

If they're sitting up you can lay down a towel for traction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393703 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:34:39 +0000 immabeetoo 1393703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: we use a laundry basket! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-a-lo-who-uses-a-baby-bath-tub#post-1393688 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:18:35 +0000 swedishfish 1393688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do for baths when you travel with your LO? R still uses her FP Whale of a Tub. Should I look into a bath seat for her that's more portable? Or just get in the tub with her? What did you do? </p>
