Hi to all you mums ,just seen the thread about no bathtubs ,no problem,I have had 4 kids now on my first grandchild,age 9 months,never had a bath,!!! as I have a problem with my knees,so first when they were little,I bought a huge fish box,polysterene,ones,now you buy the bath inserts ,made of sponge ,but years ago I used a couple of large car sponges! the polystrene is light and warm and safe .
Easy to empty,I kept it in the bathroom with a lid on as a seat for when they got older,and bath toys etc.
Its now in the green house with canna corms and stuff in.
moved on now to a garden trug,again I have bought a sponge insert 1 shop I think ,again easy to tip over and empty,very sturdy when half full,,baby loves it,,then when hes big enough he will sit in a baby seat in the shower with me. When I lived abroad,I used a large cool box,without the beer,dont waste money on stuff ,I have a machine cemetery under my kitchen sink,used once and never again,we all have them,hope this helps,bet if you were good with your hands,you could put a plug in a fish box?of course it goes without saying ,I never left any of them alone,(with the beer)ps fish box brilliant for camping and caravans ,and visits to people with out baths!!
