We used one for her first 3-5 baths, until we realized it was easier and more fun for me to just climb in the tub with her.

Following. We still use the infant sling so we don't have to hold her up the whole time. She loves to just lay there.

With H we used it until his weight became too much for it. Even then he was still too weak (not sitting up yet) to not have some support so we dropped the feet and kept the head rest on. Lets say three or four months. Then we started taking baths together in the bath.

We just did his first bath without it tonight at 3.5 months / 15 lbs. we should've taken it out way sooner but I never even thought about it until @allison told me they did ! It was so much easier to bathe him !

About 4 months...my LO was little at that age, though - 12 pounds.

We're still using it at 3 months. Sadie's only 11 pounds though. It's much easier than trying to hold her up the whole time. I think we'll keep using it until she can sit. Once we're done washing, I always let her float around in the tub though!

We used it for the first bath or two and she hated each one! I think she was too cold being suspended. We showered with we after that and then just used baby tub w/o the sling. We just leans back on the reclined part.

I think it was around 4 months. We probably could have stopped using it sooner.

Hmmm maybe like 2 weeks if I remember correctly. He didn't like it and he seemed too cold. Our bath has a reclined side that we used.

@Smurfette: I lay LO on my legs in the tub and she loves it. She splashes and it's still pretty easy to bathe her.

Okay! Sounds like K will stay in the sling for a while longer! She's still too short for my comfort to just sit in the seat part of the tub, but she loves to push off the end of the hammock/ tub, which worries me sometimes. But I know it's just because she is enjoying using her leg strength these days. She loves the hammock, will dangle her legs over and let it float around in the water!
