I would get in and take a bath at the same time, so I could hold her. She didn't take baths in the big tub alone until after she could sit up on her own. </p> <p>If your son is scared, can you try getting in the tub with him? My daughter still love when I take a bath with her. She asks me to do it almost every night, but I only agree on occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880752 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:50:36 +0000 lilteacherbee 1880752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's still in the baby bath at 10 months. I don't know when we will switch. Maybe in a few months? He's on the smaller side and it's way easier at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880751 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:48:01 +0000 daniellemybelle 1880751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months.

She loves the big bath! We have to have one hand on her though cause she always wants to stand up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880727 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:20:25 +0000 californiadreams 1880727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: definitely easier! I don't actually think we will transition him until he no longer fits in his tub. If it's not broke, don't fix it, right!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880691 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:52:22 +0000 avivoca 1880691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 days old. She hated the sink and we don't have a baby tub, so we laid her on a bath sponge from BRU and let the shower run. We started doing actual baths in the tub around eight months and she wasn't afraid at all. I plan on doing the same thing for the next baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880690 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:51:09 +0000 Mamasig 1880690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 7 months for DS1. DS2 has been in the big tub since his 1st bath. I put him in one of those bath chairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880683 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:41:41 +0000 mrsjyw 1880683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11 months. We used a baby tub on the counter until 5 months? Then we transitioned to a bigger toddler tub until then. Took a few times for him to adjust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880632 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 17:14:39 +0000 knittylady 1880632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as he was sitting well on his own (6/7 months) we switched, but with one of us in the tub with him at first. On his own completely by about ten months I think.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880517 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 14:10:26 +0000 MamaChin 1880517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: my almost 23 month old is still in his whale tub! He is not small either. It's just so much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880506 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 13:52:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1880506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She never had a baby bath tub but we used her bath chair &amp; just poured water on her until about 10 ish months. Then we started giving her "big girl baths". We still use the chair occasionally (12 months) if we need to give her a quicker bath &amp; the Chair makes it easier to wash her hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880490 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 13:29:26 +0000 ShootingStar 1880490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transferred around 7/8 months when started trying to pull up on the sides of the baby tub. A couple times he came close to knocking the entire thing over, so we ditched the baby tub. DH still misses it though at 10m because he feels like it's hard to get DS clean everywhere when he can't lay him at an angle like in the baby tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880485 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 13:26:14 +0000 Sapphiresun 1880485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I didn't realize people were transitioning so early.</p> <p>We're still in the baby tub (or kitchen sink at grandma's) at 14 months. I'm in the same thinking that it's so much nicer to just have to fill that little bit of water rather than the whole tub. She has had baths in a full size tub, but not as a rule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880470 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 13:05:06 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1880470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By about 11 months, when she started standing in her baby bathtub and flipping it over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880408 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 11:39:46 +0000 californiadreams 1880408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: i think we took the sling out around the same time, but he has just been happily bathing in the baby tub in the big tub since then! this thread is making me think it is time to transition though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880404 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 11:36:51 +0000 Smurfette 1880404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months we took the sling out, then bathed her in the baby tub in the big tub.

How about trying to put that in the big tub and slowly transition? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-transition-lo-to-the-big-bath-tub#post-1880372 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 11:11:56 +0000 MrsB2012 1880372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8 months.

First she sat between my legs and as she got better at sitting, I would let her sit by herself with very little water.
