[blparent] [Bulk] bathing an infant

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I've enjoyed baths with Sarah.  The part I don't like is when you both get 
out soaking wet, and you have to delay drying off and getting dressed till 
the baby is dry, and then you're freezing.  But it is a nice relaxing time 
in the tub.

The other thing I bought to help my back is from Safety First.  It's a 
tubside kneeler that also can be used for a step stool.  It has a stiff foam 
platform to kneel on, and an elbow rest for the side of the tub, and it's a 
lot better than kneeling on the hard floor and having to lean way over.  It 
especially helps short people like me.  I got it at Babies R Us, but it can 
probably be found at Target.
