And my husband only gives them if I ask him too. He's happy to do it and loves it (at least I think!) but I have to ask him. I think he's nervous about it as some mentioned above. Maybe that's why? But he doesn't say he is, so who knows. mediagirl on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1294622 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:30:21 +0000 mediagirl 1294622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We both do. We do baths every other night in the winter, every night in the summer (dirty and gross from playing outside). We both sit in there with her while she plays and then we take turns doing the washing. edelweiss on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1294565 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:13:07 +0000 edelweiss 1294565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ almost always me because i get home first. if we're both there, i wash, and he towels LO off, puts on moisturizer and pj's. blackbird on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1294466 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:41:11 +0000 blackbird 1294466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We trade off. She's sitting up well enough that we can plop her in the adult tub and let her splash around and have fun Sapphiresun on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1294428 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:24:37 +0000 Sapphiresun 1294428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm going to say me. DH works an afternoon shift often so I usually do it completely alone. If he's home he'll sometimes pop in and play after I've stated, but hands it back to me when it's time to actually wash anything and take her out and then clean it up.. He's scared to do it himself.

I've probably only given her a handful of baths in her life! He enjoys the bonding time, and she has more fun with him. I don't enjoy giving baths, so it works out.

I do bath and PJs and he does prayers, songs and rocking. I also do the baby's baths.

He loves the alone time with DS and I love the personal alone time after watching him all day. :happy: Greentea on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1294008 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:33:49 +0000 Greentea 1294008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Dh has done every single one! Even in the hospital while I was in the shower :) sorrycharlie on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1294000 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:31:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 1294000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Alivoo01: same! sometimes DH will fill the tub for her and get her started but he would totally prefer to do dishes (by hand, no dishwasher!) and clean up after dinner than give her a bath. I don't get it. Smurfette on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1293989 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:25:46 +0000 Smurfette 1293989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If DH is home, he does. When I was nursing, it was his way of helping with bedtime. Now it is their Daddy daughter time. I think she has more fun when he does it. Which is fine by me. Alivoo01 on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1293979 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:23:07 +0000 Alivoo01 1293979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always me! I always ask/tell DH to, and he's like no. You do it. Sigh.

We don't have a schedule though. autumnlove on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1293845 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:42:22 +0000 autumnlove 1293845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually DH! yin on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1293835 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:39:14 +0000 yin 1293835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH does bath time for both kids. I need my break. :) Foodnerd81 on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292489 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:16:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1292489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Me. He gets home too late and is a little scared to do it on his own. He will come and hang out if he's home but I do the work. MapleMoose on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292484 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:12:12 +0000 MapleMoose 1292484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH does the bath. I get her dressed in her pajamas after. lawbee11 on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292475 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:07:55 +0000 lawbee11 1292475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We alternate nights, so it's 50/50. Tonight is DH's night :) lovehoneybee on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292466 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:03:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 1292466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost always me, unless D manages to get out of work earlier. And we are both in their on the weekends. deerylou on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292431 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:48:51 +0000 deerylou 1292431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We ditched the baby bath somewhere around 8 weeks cause it was killing our knees. I bring her in the tub with me during the week, and we take family showers on the weekends. chopsuey on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292428 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:48:05 +0000 chopsuey 1292428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually me, but when DH is in town he does bathtime! lemondrop on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292414 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:43:34 +0000 lemondrop 1292414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do most of the time, but on nights when I'm tired or don't feel good Dad takes care of it. coopsmama on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292413 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:43:31 +0000 coopsmama 1292413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It usually always ends up being DH. I think he enjoys taking care of that aspect of DS's care. Cherrybee on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292403 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:39:15 +0000 Cherrybee 1292403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH. Its his special time with her. I run the bath, get her sleep sack and pjs ready, warm the towel and then he passes her to me (into the towel) so I guess you could say we do it together but actual splash time belongs to DH. oliviaoblivia on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292390 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:33:46 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1292390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always me. DH works late. :sad: luckypenny on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292383 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:26:20 +0000 luckypenny 1292383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH! Sometimes he even jumps in with her. Its his favorite time of the day. I always hear them splashing and laughing in there. They even made up their own game of yelling "Mama" in increasingly loud voices until I sneak in and say hi! Bao on "Who gives LO a bath?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gives-lo-a-bath#post-1292370 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:15:23 +0000 Bao 1292370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think DH and I share equal duty of bath time. She only takes a bath every other night so about twice a week I do it and about twice a week he does it. It works out well for us! Tonight is his night ;)
