Bath time issues

I am a mum to a 3 year old and a 5 week old. Both are boys. Currently my 3 year old refuses to go in the bath when I ask him to as he would rather make up stories and run around than go in the bath. At the moment my husband is working from home and can help out as I have to bath the 5 week old first as my 3 year old refuses to have a bath with his brother. In July my husband is going back to the office part time and working from home when he's not in the office and so I dread to think what is going to happen when I have to bath them separately as my 5 week old always needs a feed after his bath so will not be able to do my 3 year old's bath if he does not go in the same time. Has anyone got any advice for what I can do to encourage him in the bath with his brother? My husband will be back after their bath time.

5 week olds don't really need a bath every day and you can always bath him in the morning for now if he does need one.

I'd scoop up DC1 and put him in the bath and feed DC2 at the same time for now Thanks

Bath bombs / fizzers? Might make it abit more fun and interesting.

He does love these but we can’t use them with the baby which is a shame. I’m trying to get him in the bath with the baby so I can do bath time together. Thank you for the advice.
