We have one of those baths with the sling in it. We have been putting it into the kitchen sink. It's a pain in the butt, though! It's so big we can't get the faucet inside of it so we have to fill it with the spray nozzle. Anyone else have this problem?
Where do you bathe your lo, specifically your infant?

I bathed my son on the kitchen sink too, using a sling. Not sure what I"m gonna do with my daughter this time. Maybe the same?

We put the blue plastic baby tub on the bathroom counter. It works pretty well. We tried the puj tub in the sink but we hated it.

We bathed him in it tonight for most likely the last time. He's growing out of it at 9 weeks. For his next bath we will be using this:

We had a bathtub with sling that we used the first 2 weeks. Then we started putting her in the infant tub without the sling. At 4 months or so we put her in her bathroom tub (filled it up with 2-3 inches of water and laid her on a towel with a towel pillow supporting her head. At around 9 months we got her a mini plastic tub that she still uses. She sits up in it.

We plan to put the baby bath with the sling in our bathtub (separate from the shower so it easy to work in). Baby baths in the kitchen sink gross me out for some reason.

I did kitchen sink for the first month. Now we have a spa baby euro bath tub and I put it on the ledge of my jacuzzi tub (the surround is quite deep...it is something we often sit on, which is handy because I can either stand over him to wash him, or sit beside to hang out.)

We took him into the shower with us (not a tub combo). Laid him on a towel and washed him there. We have one of these extension shower heads already. It works well for us.

We've always used the bathtub. For the first 2 months we used this: http://www.target.com/p/summer-infant-deluxe-baby-bather-blue/-/A-13933368
It works fine, but is a little awkward. The most important thing to me was that it folds flat for day to day storage. At 8 weeks we started swim class, so we got much more comfortable holding him around water.
Now I just fold a towel on the floor of the tub and put his head on it. I take a shower with him splashing on the floor of the tub. I soap and rinse him off with the detachable shower head, and am all done!

I have the same thing and bathed my 3 y.o. in it when he was a newborn and am now doing the same with my 3-month-old and I just do it in the bath tub. I sit on a little stool outside the tub and use a hand shower. It's easier to clean up afterwards. I had a hard time doing it on the bathroom counter.

We have one of those tubs too and had the same problem--so we use it in the bath tub instead (there's also a heating fan in that bathroom which DD loves!)

Some days we bathe baby in the kitchen sink. We have a soft baby bath that's kind of like a shaped pillow that fits really well in the sink. Other days I take a bath with the baby in the regular adult bathtub. I just make sure to hold on to her really tight. Once she's all clean, I lay her on her towel on the floor next to the tub while I finish up my bath.

We used a pujtub in the kitchen sink for the first 6 months and loved it. We probably should have moved her out of it a little sooner, but it was so convenient that we used it until we couldn't squeeze her into it anymore. Now we have a rubber mat in the bathtub that keeps her from slipping - super cheap and easy.

I use a Euro bath that I put in our bathtub.

We have the sling tub but lately have been getting untie bath with him - he loves it! It's like a mini swimming lesson for him!

We have a sling tub when she was little and put it in the big tub. Now she sits up in a mini tub inside the big tub.

I put DS's infant tub next to the big bathtub because we wash DD in the big bathtub at the same time. I can't wait until he's big enough for a bath seat, though; filling/draining/cleaning two bathtubs is a pain!

We have that tub. We are close to taking the little infant ledge out of it.

We have the same whale tub as zippylef, and same, she's just about ready for the infant ledge out at 4 months. We always fill it in the kitchen and bathe her on the kitchen counter
