Anyone have a baby bath ring?

[mschanandelerbong]

I think that's what they're called.  I thought it would be good for travel.  I found this but I want just a cheap plastic ring, without bells and whistles!  My mom says that's what she used in the 80s and it was great.

I shower with LO. After he's clean, DH takes him and gets him dressed. Maybe it would be different if he liked baths?

Well damn, I don't think they make the cheap little rings anymore. I found an article that says they're unsafe. Of course, I'd never leave him unattended in one. We'll have to figure something else out. Maybe an inflatable. Or I could just get in the tub with him.

So, we just started giving DD a bath in the big tub. No chairs, no infant tubs, etc. I just watch her (sitting by the tub the whole time) and fill the tub with about an inch of water. She loves it. Am I not supposed to do that?

As long as she's stable enough to sit up without being wobbly or falling over, I don't see anything wrong with this.  

We have been looking at this; www.amazon.com/dp/B01AXNFBXE/ref=cm_wl_huc_continue

We have one and A is too big for it

We love the inflatable duck tub! We traveled with it to Cancun with DS1 - worked like a charm! We bring it to our cabin, to visit in-laws and are still using it for DS2.

Side question for STM's - how are you bathing your kids together? We had a bath seat but giant baby likes to roll off the side now and he wants to sit all the way up. The bottom of our tub is super slippery so he slides around too much if I just sit him in there with the big.

ETA: Is the obvious answer just a nonslip thing for the bottom of the tub?

mschanandelerbong , we have one a lot like the one in the link you posted. It was a hand-me-down from a neighbor, so who knows when it was made... but anyway, I've found it to be a good tool in this in-between time, when Henry is too little to sit up on his own in the bath without slipping, but too big for the baby bathtub.

I'm giggling thinking of you trying to cram giant A into one of those rings. Henry is a peanut, so he fits in there with room to spare.

We just started bathing Layla in the big tub last night. We have a non-slip mat down and she sits unassisted, so she did really well! She loved not being confined in her little tub and was spinning herself all over to look each direction, and was splashing like mad.

I did this for a few baths but then he started crawling away and once face planted.. So I went and bought a baby tub.. Which he still tries to crawl in.

We've just gotten in with him when traveling...or took him in the shower with one of us. I'm very "bring only what you must" about traveling.

+1 for inflatable duck tub. We used it when visiting family out of state, and also use it at home. Dani loves it

Add us to the bathe in the big tub. We have for several months. Before she could sit we would put a towel under her head and just lay her down in an inch of water. Now she sits unassisted and we bathe her & DD1 together. We have the water to about her waist. She does fine & we're right there in case of a slip (or in case she's knocked over....).

It was a real cluster fuck and SO got really mad at me for pushing on A so he could fit in it. Ended in a terrible meltdown.

Oops?
