[blparent] bathing an infant

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I hated those contoured tubs, and so did Sarah.  Baths were miserable.  What 
I found that finally worked for me was a large sponge that was vaguely the 
shape of a baby.  Sarah could lie down on it, and then I just put maybe an 
inch or two of water in the big bath tub, so that the sponge was wet but 
Sarah was barely in any standing water at all.  I had an easy time bathing 
her, and when she started sitting up, she still sat on the sponge.  Now she 
loves having her baths.  Look at Target or Wal-Mart or any department store, 
or a baby shop.  The sponge was only four or five dollars, and I would 
highly recommend it over all those fancy tubs...  Best of luck!
