[blparent] bathing an infant

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

My son had a large blow up duck that we bathed him in for a while.  It has
the head of a duck, and actually quacked, but the body had sides and a
little raft type thing for the baby to sit or lay in.  It actually had a
hole you could plug so you could fill the body part with water.  It had
suction cups so you could attach it to the bottom of the bathtub for
stability.  Austin is also on the tall side, and he could fit into it until
he was about a year and a half.  This might work for your son.  He could
probably lay in it, and you could put a small towel or something in to
support his head.  I got the duck at Target.  I'm not sure if they still
sell them.
I hope this helps!
Melissa

Our baby tub came with a net that attached to the sides  and when Gab out
grew it, we took it off and just placed her into the tub itself.   One side
of it inclined so you would put the head there and the body in the basin
part.  I hope that makes sense.
If your baby doesn't fit here, then I would probably get in the regular tub
with him. Put his head on your lap and bathe him. V

Ok so did great with new born bathing since I had a tub that  was contoured
but, my dilema here is my son grew really fast. His birth mom is tall and he
apparently inherrited her height. He is too big for the baby tub but cannot
sit by him self yet. I tried a bath ring and do not feel confident at all
with it. He is still at a stage where bath time is relax time and likes to
lay down still. If I sit him in the sink he hates it. Any idea on what I
could possibly use for him. He is only 4 months but, is off the charts in
all categories of physical growth. thanks.
