Difficulty getting baby in and out the bath

[sarah00001]

Hi, I have a 14 week old baby and am a single mum. I bathe her 2 or 3 times a week in an ergonomic bath support from mothercare, which my child sits in and I have both hands free to wash her. The problem is that I always find it very hard putting her in and getting her out the bath, as naked babies are so slippy!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this? Is there a baby bath which is easy to get a baby in and out of or is there anything you can you can put on a baby to make them less slippy?

Thank you

Sarah

Buy a bay bath which is shaped around the baby and do it on a table as it's easier to coordinate things at waist height than bending down and getting up with a slippery baby.

I just used a small towel for grip. It got wet but no slipping.

I would heartily advise an inflatable baby bath - ours was about £8 brand new on eBay and it's much less slippy than a normal bath. Also warmer to the touch and a bit cosier!

I used a baby bath on the floor and sat down next to it with a towel on my lap. When I took the DDs out I pulled them onto my lap and then wrapped them up. They were still flippin' slippery, but the consequences of slipping were much lower because we were all already on the floor!

Bath her in kitchen sink

Thank you all for your advice.
