Bathing a 6 month old

[NameChangeCity123]

Hiya can I please ask for ideas to bath my 6 month old? He's too big for the angel care seat now and also too long for his little baby bath which is what I have been using until now. Do I now just wash him in the big bath with no support/ seat/insert or is there something else I could use? He can't sit up on his own and he gets a bit panicked when lying down flat with the water round him.

Thanks

Put her in with dh and have 20 minutes me time in the kitchen preparing dinner. Go back for drying time. A sanity saver. Also fabulous for the father/child relationship.

"co-bathe" 😂😂

I had one of the seats posted above, used it for 2 DC. Didn't cost much and they both loved it. I hated getting in the bath with them! It was a brilliant seat and I passed it on when I was done.

We've used one of these inside the big bath for all my DC once too big for baby bath - DC 3 is just getting big enough for it, they can sort of lean against the back and half sit while you wash them. I never enjoyed bathing with mine as I never knew when they would do a bath poo

Kitchen sink

I used to just lay mine in a shallow bath and wash them that way. They used to love being in the water and kicking.
Other than that I used to get in with them.

Thank you very much for all your suggestions everyone. Will look into some of these and also thinking about roping my husband in too as suggested! Thanks again

Are you sure he's too big for the Angelcare seat? I used that with both of mine till rhey were reliable sitting up which was about 9/10 months.

We went back to the baby bath at that age. Put it inside the big bath and filled it nice and deep. The boy loved splashing about in the deeper water and letting it splash over the edge.

They are amazing! I put dc2 in the schnuggle bath inside the big bath when dc1 baths and they have so much fun!

A plastic wash basket is the easiest and one of the cheaper options.
