After last nap, I give him some naked tummy time and then it's into the bath time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317270 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 07:25:05 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 317270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 8:30, she still has a bit of the night owl in her at 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317259 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 06:30:12 +0000 anonysquire 317259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 24 and still prefer baths over showers anyday, so relaxing. I can take one any time of the day. When I get off work in 1.5 hrs I will be taking a bath and then falling asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317250 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 06:06:46 +0000 Honeybee 317250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: We did DD in the big tub and DS in the infant tub at the same fime for the first fewmonths, but switched to DS in the big tub at 6 and DD at 6:30 when DS outgrew his little tub. Now I get in the big tub with him every night and it just gets kind of crowded if we throw DD into the tub with us. I take both kids into the tub with me when DH is working late,.but it is a little crowded. I figure once DS can go in the big tub by himself (,maybe 9 months?) I'll just put the kids in together at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317200 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:51:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 317200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: we put the infant tub in the big tub (and we don't fill the big tub). So Wagon Jr. stands outside the infant tub, but inside the big tub, on a non-slip mat. We hose him down, then he helps us with the shampoo and soap, then we hose him down again. As they get older, the more they can do independently the better!! But of course you have to get all the nasty areas like behind the ears, the feet, the butt... since they're not all that thorough ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317197 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:48:53 +0000 Andrea 317197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: @mrbee: ok, I was planning on having the older one in the big tub and the baby outside in the infant tub at first. I should really start training my older one to wash herself. She does it sometimes but I should just start making that a habit because I am gonna be doing bedtime by myself most of the time. So if I only really had to bathe the baby then that would help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317195 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:41:48 +0000 mrbee 317195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: what she said!</p> <p>Also Charlie takes a bath in the tub but Olive still uses a small floor bath thingy. When Olive is in the tub, it's hard for her since she can't really stand consistently yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317194 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:38:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 317194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: We do the baths separately because it's easier and quicker when we divide and conquer. But we have done the baths together and it's gone pretty ok (except we have to teach Wagon Jr. to not splash water into LMW's face!). Just less space in the bathroom to navigate when all four of us are in there. But I think you can totally do bathtime with two alone, as long as your older one can follow directions to wait for you as you're lifting baby in and out of the tub, etc. Or if you have someone there to help, for them to take the older one out of the way after the bath is done. At least while the baby is still little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317190 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:32:29 +0000 Andrea 317190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @mrs. wagon: I guess your older kids must sleep later than the babies but I am wondering why you can't do baths for both at the same time? I am gonna be doing bedtime for 2 soon and it seems like it would be easier for me to do them together by myself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-317158 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 22:30:54 +0000 yin 317158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 6:45 and 7:00.

Unless she got really, really messy during dinner... then we'll do it ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-316862 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:19:58 +0000 Boogs 316862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhere around 8:45-9pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-316815 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 11:39:45 +0000 mrs. wagon 316815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LMW's bath starts between 5:30 and 5:45. Wagon Jr.'s bath starts between 6:30 and 7. Both are short and sweet! We sometimes refer to Wagon Jr.'s bath as a prison-style shower. We suds him up then hose him down, and it's over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-316799 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 11:30:21 +0000 heffalump 316799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8. She doesn't stay in there long at all. She'll play for a couple of minutes, but we're all so tired by that time that we just wash her, let her play for a couple of minutes, and get her out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-316790 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 11:21:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 316790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 6-6:30 and it lasts about 10 minutes. He likes playing with his rubber ducks and splashing in the tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-the-bath#post-316781 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 11:16:03 +0000 mrbee 316781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive starts her bath around 6 pm... Charlie starts at 7:30 pm.</p> <p>Olive's bath is pretty short, but Charlie's can go for half an hour or more! But sometimes he just doesn't want to be in the bath, and it will be just 5 minutes or so.</p> <p>What time do you start the bath? </p>
