If this is very bad, please tell me to stop it

Im letting 6mo DS sit/roll around, in the front room, on a damp towel to keep him cool. We have a flat so no outdoor area for a paddling pool etc.

Is there some reason I shouldnt do this? I know my mum would say HE'LL GET A CHILL, but really? Its 27 degrees?!

A pair of cold wet uggs would be lovely, but would smell like dead sheep after a few hours I fear....

Ds had a cold shower and didn't even want to put on a pair of briefs for bed. He is au naturel under a duvet cover.

(slightly pathetic that I only have fitted sheets or duvet covers and not a nice crisp cotton sheet for him)

"one of those flat builders trays from B&Q"

I call it a Spot Board. It is for mixing up small amounts of mortar or concrete. Black PVC about 2 inches (50mm) deep
mixing tray It is nothing to do with paint.

I don't know how you'd empty it if you put water in it inside the flat though.

Crikey that confused my poor brain! DD is far too fat for a wooly boot

I'd call that a rubber dolly and it is in fact what I sent my DP out to buy when he came home with the holey laundry basket. Ah well.

oooooo they come in pretty colours :) :) :)

WANT!

You could siphon the water out, if you had a long tube. And then use a towel to soak up the rest.

Or just use towels and then stick them straight in a spin cycle.

I actually have two pink trugs supposed to be used at soft toy/crap storage however, they are used for everything else but and are great laundry baskets, general bucket.etc
The first was bought as a bucket bath for my dd and worked very well and much cheaper than Mothercares £30 offering!
