So baby is now growing up. You have been using the baby bath tub for several months and baby is getting a little too big for that tub but too small to put in a regular tup so what do you do? If baby is able to sit up on his own but not quite steady enough to sit in the tub by himself.... get a bath tub ring! (this even works well with bathing twins at the same time! Just use 2 rings)
These seats use a suction to stick to the bathtub floor. You place baby in the ring that is suctioned to the tub and has a couple of inches of warm water. Have a couple of toys handy and sit back while baby enjoys a little splashing!!! Now it's time for the 2(or 3) of you to play!!! I like to have some different repurposed containers (yogurt, butter and cheap measuring cups) for baby to use to dip in the water. If you pumped and still have your breast shield that makes a fun funnel to play with!!!! and after baby is finished splashing it is time to gently clean your baby! When you're finished rinse baby off (you can use one of the containers you and baby were playing with!) get a good grip on baby and pull him out. Remember baby can be a little slippery!!! place a towel on the floor next to you so you can wrap baby up quickly! Rememeber NEVER leave the baby by himself in the tub!!!! not even for a second!
