bath time problem

[bumbly]

little one just starting to stand at 10 months but keeps slipping in bath even though have mat and bashing head badly on side

any suggestions?

do not take hands off child

do not bother with baths every day, he/she can't be that dirty

slips when suddenly goes to stand from sitting well...cant hold him all the time as am doing his hair face etc

Ha ha, crokky, you never had my 10 month old. We still call him 'Splodge'. How about a towel draped across the width of the bath? And just run a very shallow bath.

I get DP to do baths as he can control mine better! And definitely agree, baths every night is a big no no.Twice a week at most in my house!

Is he too big for those chair things that stick to the bottom of the bath and swivel round? Can't remember when I stopped using ours.

I know what you are going through - here's what I did - removed my socks and rolled up my trousers - sat on the edge of the bath or on the corner seat with feet and legs in the bath! Worked well no accidents DD is now 2 and gets in and out herself - often soaking me or her dad while in there!

P.S you can support him with your legs for hairwashing or 2 handed jobs.

Keep a vest on him and keep a tight grip on that with one hand?

thanks gals!!!!!!!!!

just with him starting to move nightmare after naother and today no exception - see my other thread!
