We have a 3 year old and an 8 month old. Right now we do 2 bath times but would love to cut the time bath time routine. When did you start doing joint baths with your kids?
-
We do bath times and bed times together with both boys! (almost 3 yo and 4 months old)!
We have ds1 in the big tub, ds2 in the infant tub next to it and one of us sits on a stool and manage both of them! DS1 is pretty helpful and makes it relatively easy. We dress them for bed after in DS1's room and then I nurse DS2 while ds1 "reads" before bed! (on solo nights)
We'll probably do both of them in the same time when DS2 can sit on his own without tumbling.
-
Mine are 18 months apart and we started joint baths when DS was sitting well enough that I could safely have him in tub with DD and her at times crazy splashing, and not have to hand my hand on his back. I think around 9+ months.
-
Once DD was sitting well enough for it, so 6 months.
-
We started at around 3 months probably. The baby sat in one of those sling chairs. Eventually, we removed it.
-
We do joint baths now and have since 2-3 months. Sis (6 months) sits in a bath chair and big brother (2) is in the tub.
-
When lo2 could sit independently fairly reliably, so...7ish months? If we had a bath containment device it probably could have been sooner.
-
We started joint baths when baby sister was four months. At first I had her tub in the big tub. By six months we abandoned the baby tub and now just have them in there together.
-
Same as every one else - when she was unsteady she used the bath sling in the big tub w Olivia
Now that she's steady Sitting they bathe together
-
Yup. We combined by then.
-
Once DD2 could sit well unsupported. I usually get the baby out first while my 3.5 year old continues playing. I dress her in the bathroom so I can monitor the older one. Once the baby is dressed I dress the older one.
-
we used a bath sling in the tub for DS starting pretty young, maybe like 2-3 months? once their sleep schedules aligned. saves so much time!
-
Right from the get-go! I put our 3yo in and soap her up, wash hair etc then I grab our wee guy and wash him while Miss A plays (he's already naked having floor time). I get the baby out first and dry him then retrieve our big girl.
-
We combined as soon as our younger LO could sit safely in the tub.
-
We've never really combined baths because DD1 was showering by the time DD2 was ready for the big tub. They've taken a few together for fun though.
-
Once the younger could sit well, we started joint baths. I think Logan was around 8 months.
-
@lamariniere: this exactly. Actually, I think we did it even sooner (once we felt DD2 was stable in a mesh bath seat and DD1 was big enough to follow directions reliably.
-
From pretty early on, maybe 3-4 months. I actually would put the infant tub next to the big kid inside the tub.
Once baby could sit well, we put them in the same tub together. Probably around 7 months.
We don't have time for 2 separate baths!
